Sketch the graph of f. How many different polynomials functions are possible for f?
a<0
y = a(x+2) (x-3) (x-½)
= a(x²-x-6) (x-½)
= a(x³-1.5x²-5.5x+3)
e.g.,
y = -2x³ + 3x² + 11x - 6
Here is one solution:
f(x) = −(x+2) (2x−1) (x−3)
This has leading coefficient = −2
There are infinitely many possible functions for f, all of the form:
f(x) = −k(x+2) (2x−1) (x−3)
where k is any real positive number
Here is a graph of 3 such function:
