SOLUTION: Sketch a cubic function y=p(x) with two distinct zeros at x=2 and x=5 and has a local maximum located at x=5. [Hint; you will have one double zero] Also provide the p(x) equatio

Question 956375: Sketch a cubic function y=p(x) with two distinct zeros at x=2 and x=5 and has a local maximum located at x=5. [Hint; you will have one double zero]
Also provide the p(x) equation.
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
One possible equation is p(x) = -(x-2)*(x-5)^2 which has this graph

which fits the description given
