Question

Use the following steps to graph the polynomial function f(x). a. Use the leading coefficient test to determine the graph's end behavior. What does the graph of f look like? O A. The graph rises to the left and falls to the right. O B. The graph falls to the left and rises to the right. O C. The graph falls to the left and to the right. O D. The graph rises to the left and to the right. b. Find the xintercepts. State whether the graph crosses the x-axis, or touches the x-axis and turns around, at each intercept. What is/are the x-intercept(s)? x* (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) What does the graph do at x 1? O The graph crosses the x-axis. O The graph touches the x-axis and turms around. What does the graph do at x 4? O The graph crosses the x-axis. O he graph touches the x-axis and turns around What does the graph do at x 3? O The graph crosses the x-axis O The graph touches the x-axis and turns around Click to select vour answers)

Explanation / Answer

f(x) = (x -1)^2(x+4)(x-3)

highest degree = x^4 and positive coefficient of highest degree = 1

So, polynomial with even degree and +ve coefficient , both ends go up

So, option with D graph rises to left and right
