State a cubic or quartic function with the least degree possible in intercept form for the given graph. Assume that all x-intercepts are integers, and that the constant factor a is either 1 or −1. Enter the correct value in the box to answer the question.
y= ?

y =

Step-by-step explanation:

The function will be cubic.  The x-intercepts are -4, -1, and 2

The constant factor is -1 because the graph falls on the right.  So,

y = -(x + 4)(x + 1)(x - 2)

y = -

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
