Question

One of the functions below matches this graph and the other two DO NOT.

(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.
