Question

Which is the factored form of the polynomial P(x) shown here?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. P(x) = (x=5)(x+2)(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts of the function form the factored form of the function. Each x-intercept or root results from an expression equal to 0.

So x = -5 becomes x+5=0. The factor is x+5.

Here the roots are 0, -2 and -5. So the factors are x(x+5)(x+2).
