Function 3

Function f(x)=a(x-r)(x-s) the graph of the function has x-intercept at (-4, 0) and (2, 0) and passes through the point (-2,-8). Find constant a, r, s.

Correct answer:

a =  1
r =  -4
s =  2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=a(xr)(xs) r=4 s=2  8=a (2r) (2s) 8=a (2(4)) (22)  8a=8  a=88=1  a=1
s=2  f(x) = (x+4)(x2)
