Expert Solution
Step 1

The given graph of r(x) has zeros at point a , -b and  -c .

For the zeros of r(x) , put  r(x)=0 .

(a).    r(x) = (x-a)(x+b)(x+c)

   r(x) = 0

  (x-a)(x+b)(x+c)=0    x = a , -b , -c

(b).      r(x)= (x+a)(x-b)(x-c)

  r(x) = 0

    (x+a)(x-b)(x-c) = 0        x= -a , b , c

=> Zeros of  r(x)=(x+a)(x-b)(x-c) and r(x) = (x+a)(x-b)(x-c)2  are  -a , b , c .

=>  Option  (b)  and  (c) are not possible .

But zeros of r(x)=x-ax+bx+c and r(x)=x-ax+bx+c2 are  a , -b , -c.

=> Either ption  (a) or option (d) is possible .

We do further investigation .
