Answer:
(x + 5) and (x -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached graph
Required
The [tex]factors[/tex] of the graph
The x [tex]values[/tex] are where the [tex]curve[/tex] [tex]touches[/tex] the x-axis
The first is at:
[tex]x = -5[/tex]
Add 5 to both sides
[tex]x +5= -5+5[/tex]
[tex]x +5= 0[/tex]
This implies that the first factor is: (x + 5)
The second is at:
[tex]x =1[/tex]
Subtract 1 from both sides
[tex]x - 1 = 1 - 1[/tex]
[tex]x - 1 = 0[/tex]
This implies that the other factor is: (x - 1)
