To determine which of the given options represents the correct equation for the polynomial \( p(x) \), we can analyze the graph:

1. **Identify the roots**:  
   The graph crosses the x-axis at three points, which means the polynomial has three real roots. The approximate x-intercepts (roots) are:
   - \( x = -5 \)
   - \( x = 0 \) (crosses at the origin)
   - \( x = 2 \)

   This suggests that the factors of \(

What could be the equation of the polynomial p(x) given the graph?

This problem involves identifying the polynomial equation based on a graph with real roots at x = -5, 0, and 2. Using the root-factor theorem and polynomial factorization, learn how to determine the correct polynomial equation. Suitable for high school students.
