Question

Let a and b be real numbers where ab+0. Which of the following functions could represent the graph below?
O f(x) = x(x – a)3(x – b) 3
O f(x) = (x – a)2(x – 614
O f(x) = x(x – a) (x – 5)2
O f(x) = (x – a)5(x – b)

Answer 1

The following functions could represent the graph below then the correct option is B; y =  (x - a)^2 (x - b)^4.

What is graph ?

A graph contains data of which input maps to which output.

Analysis of this leads to the relations which were used to make it.

we have given that a and b are real numbers different than zero.

From the graph, we can see that the line touches the x-axis in two values.

Now, if we would have an equation such as:

y = x(x - a)^3 (x - b)^3

then when x = 0

y = 0(0-a)^3 (0-b)^3

y = 0

But in the graph, we can see that when x = 0, the value of y is different than zero,

(For example, if x > a and x < b we would have a negative value for y)

Then the correct option is B ;y =  (x - a)^2 (x - b)^4
