To calculate: the factors for polynomial function
Answer to Problem 29PPS
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 4. Therefore, there are three turning points as observed in the graph. The graph has two x -intercepts. The graph has one y -intercept at
At point
At point
Further, since the degree is 4 there will be 4 factors of the polynomial. Since we found the two linear factor , next factor will be of degree 2.
Now, the factor is
Hence, the following factors are
