which equation when graph has x intercepts at (2,0) and (4,0) and a y-intercept of (0,-16)?
A. F(x)= -(x-2)(x-4)
B. F(x)= -(x+2)(x+4)
C. F(x)=-2(x-2)(x-4)
D. F(x)= -2(x+2)(x+4)
The correct answer is C. if you plug zero in for 'x' you will get the y-intercept. -2(0-2)(0-4)= -2(-2)(-4)=-16 Next set each factor equal to zero to get the x-intercepts. (x-2)=0 x = 2 (2,0) (x-4) = 0 x = 4 (4,0)
