You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if the zeros are (-2,0), (-1,0), and (3,0), then the factors are (x+2) * (x+1) * (x-3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that would be selection D.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you graphed x^3 - 7x - 6 and you graphed (x+2) * (x+1) * (x-3), the graph of those two equations would be coincident and look like one graph rather than 2.\r
