Apolynomial function has a root of -5 with multiplicity 3, a root of 1 with multiplicity 2, and a root of 3 with multiplicity 7. if the function has a negative leading coefficient and is of even degree, which statement about the graph is true?
the graph of the function is positive on (-co, -5).
the graph of the function is negative on (-5,3).
the graph of the function is positive on (-co, 1).
the graph of the function is negative on (3,co).

The graph of the function is positive on (-co, -5).

The graph of the function is negative on (3,co).

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the roots are in: -5, 1 and 3.

and after 3, the graph is in the negative side, so between 1 and 3 the graph must be in the positive side, between -5 and 1 the graph must be in the negative side, and  between -inifinity and -5 the graph must be in the positive side:

So the statements that are true are:

The graph of the function is positive on (-co, -5).

The graph of the function is negative on (3,co).

step-by-step explanation:

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
