y = a(x - 4)2(x - 5) (this gives the right roots with the right multiplicity)
160 = a(-4)2(-5) (we plug in the given y-int coordinates to solve for a, the lead coefficient)
160 = - 80a
a = -2
y = -2(x - 4)2(x - 5)

asked 04/13/21I have a poly question for Algebra 2. The problem gives me the root of 4 with multiplicty of 2. The root of 5 with multiplicty of 1. I also get the y-intercept of 160. I need to find the problem in standard form.
