<PRE><B>Question 1031550</B>
 The following set of points belong to a specific function: {(-3,0)(-2,4), (-1,0 ),(0,-6),(1,-8), (2,0),(3,24)} Based on the set of points answer the following questions: 
a)What type of function does the set of points produce? Justify your answer.
Passes thru the x-axis at (-3,0), (-1,0), (2,0)
Cubic
--------------------- 
b)Write an equation for this function based on the set of points that have been given.
f(x) = a(x+3)(x+1)(x-2)
f(-2) = 4 implies that 4 = a(1)(-1)(-4)
So 4a = 4
a = 1
------
Equation:: f(x) = (x+3)(x+1)(x-2)
