Which of the following functions has the same zeros as the graph below?
Question
Answer:
==========================================================The given graph have four zeros at x = -3 , 0 , 2 , 7
==========================================================
f(x) = x³ + x² -6x
The function f(x) is polynomial has degree = 3
so, it has only 3 zeros
==========================================================
g(x) = (x²+x-6)(x²-7x) ⇒ By factoring
⇒ By factoring
∴ g(x) = x(x-7)(x+3)(x-2)
∴ g(x) has zeros at x = -3 , 0 , 2 , 7
==========================================================
h(x) = x(x-7)(x+3)(x-2)
h(x) has zeros at x = -3 , 0 , 2 , 7
==========================================================
m(x) = (x³-4x²-21x)(x-2)
⇒ By factoring
∴ m(x) = x(x-7)(x+3)(x-2)
∴ m(x) has zeros at x = -3 , 0 , 2 , 7
==========================================================
n(x) = x²-9x+14
The function f(x) is polynomial has degree = 3
so, it has only 3 zeros
==========================================================
p(x) = x(x+2)(x-3)(x+7)
∴ p(x) has zeros at x = 3 , 0 , -2 , -7
==========================================================
By comparing zeros of the given graph to zeros of the functions
The result will be:
The functions that have the same zeros as the graph are
g(x) , h(x) and m(x)
