Q. Determine an equation for the pictured graph. Write your answer in factored form.\newlineRemember to start with f(x)=a(xr1)(xr2) \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=a\left(x-r_{1}\right)\left(x-r_{2}\right) \ldots \newliney= y=
  1. Identify Roots: Identify the roots of the polynomial from the graph.
  2. Write Factors: Write down the factors corresponding to the roots. If the roots are r1r_1 and r2r_2, the factors are (xr1)(x - r_1) and (xr2)(x - r_2).
  3. Multiply Factors: Multiply the factors to get the polynomial in factored form. f(x)=a(xr1)(xr2)f(x) = a(x - r_1)(x - r_2).
  4. Determine Coefficient: Determine the leading coefficient aa if it's given or can be inferred from the graph. If not given, assume a=1a = 1.
  5. Write Final Equation: Write the final equation using the identified roots and the leading coefficient.
