Chapter 4 - Quadratic Functions - 4.5 Solving Equations by Factoring - 4.5 Exercises - Page 361: 63

Answer

$y=x^2+x-6$

Work Step by Step

The graph shows that the zeros of the function are $-3$ and $2$. This means that the function contains the factors $x+3$ and $x-2$. Thus, the function is: $y=(x+3)(x-2)\\ y=x^2-2x+3x-6\\ y=x^2+x-6$ (The graph does not show point toher than its zeros that have integral $y$-value so we have to assume that $a=1$).
