You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given that f(x) is a cubic function with zeros at -6,-2 , and 6, find an equation for f(x) given that f(0)= -5
-------
f(x) = k(x+6)(x+2)(x-6)
---
Using f(0) = -5, find "k":
---
f(0) = k(6)(2)(-6) = -5
-72k = -5
k = 5/72
----------------
Equation:
y = (5/72)(x+6)(x+2)(x-6)
