C-53.
Based on the graph, give a possible equation for the parabola.
For additional help, see problem 11-13.
The
-coordinates of the -intercepts are roots of the equation. If you know the roots, can you find the factors? The factors are
and .
See the hints in part (a).
Instead of using fractions, multiply each factor by the fraction's denominator.
The factors can be written as
and .
