To calculate: the factors for polynomial function
Answer to Problem 30PPS
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Formula used:
Factor Theorem: If
The graph of the polynomial function of degree n has at most
Calculation:
According to the graph and the function ,
The degree of function is 3. Therefore, there are two turning points as observed in the graph. The graph has three x -intercepts. The graph has one y -intercept at
At point
At point
At point
Further, since the degree is 3 there will be 3 factors of the polynomial.
Therefore we have ,
Hence, the factors are
