Question 1028302: PLEASE HELP!
1. The graph of f(x) has x-intercepts at x=-2, x=9, and x=-5. The graph of f(x) resembles the graph of what function near the point x=9?
f(x)=(x+2)(x-9)^9(x+5)^3
y=x
y=x^3
y=x^10
y=x^9
y=x^4
None above

Start with x=9

Subtract 9 from both sides to get x - 9 = 0

Notice the "x-9" matches up with one of the factors, namely (x-9)^9

The exponent here is 9, so (x-9)^9 resembles x^9. They have the same basic shape so to speak

Final answer: y=x^9
