(I) t(x) = 0.5(x − 0.5)(x + 2)(x + 3) (II) s(x) = −0.75(x + 0.5)(x − 2)(x − 3) (III) m(x) = −0.2(x + 1)(x − 4)^2 (x − 6) (a) Choose the function that could match the graph and explain why. (b) Use this function to label the x-intercepts, y-intercepts and scale on the graph. (c) Choose one of the functions that COULD NOT match the graph and explain why NOT.
