Question

Which of the following equations could be the function pictured in the graph?

A. y= (x-1)(x+3)
B. y= (x+1)(x-3)
C. y= (x+1)(x+3)
D. y= (x+1)(x-1)

Answer 1

B. y = (x+1)(x-3)

Explanation:

Bbecause when y intersect the x axis, y = 0

so (x+1)(x-3) = 0, which we get x = -1 and x = 3

As shown in the graph this is true, because the function does indeed also intersect with the x axis at x = -1 and x = 3 as well.
