Find X-Intercepts: Look at the graph to find the x-intercepts, which are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis. These x-values are the roots of the polynomial f(x).
Apply Factor Theorem: If the graph crosses the x-axis at x=a, then (x−a) is a factor of f(x) according to the factor theorem.
Identify Intercepts: Identify all the x-intercepts from the graph. Let's say they are x=p, x=q, and x=r.
Write Down Factors: Write down the factors corresponding to each x-intercept. So the factors are (x−p), (x−q), and (x−r).
Verify Factors: Check if each factor corresponds to an actual x-intercept on the graph to ensure no mistakes were made.
