Use the given information about the polynomial graph to write the equation. Degree 5. Double zero at x = 1, and triple zero at x = 3. Passes through the point (x, y) = (2, 46).

Answer 1

y=a(x-1)² (x-3)³

As passes through (2, 46), should satisfy the above equation. Substitute in above equation and solve for a

46 = a(2-1)² (2-3)³

46 = a*1*1*-1*-1*-1

a=-46

Ans: y = -46(x-1)² (x-3)³
