10 points Based on what you know about the information provided in the
graph and the roots or solutions of an equation, which function,
in factored form, does the graph below represent?*
O y = (x - 12)(x + 4)
O y = (x - 3)(x +4)
O y = (x - 12)(x-4)
O y = (x + 3)(x-4)

The function that forms the polynomial is (x + 3)(x - 4) = y

Polynomial is an expression that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication of variables.

Polynomials are classified based on degree as linear, quadratic, cubic.

Quadratic polynomial is of degree two and has two roots.

From the graph:

x = -3 and x = 4

(x + 3)(x - 4) = y

The function that forms the polynomial is (x + 3)(x - 4) = y
