Which of these equations has a graph that is tangent to the x-axis at one of its intercepts? Choose all the polynomials that have this property.

y = x2 + 6x + 9

y = –x3

y = (x + 2)(x + 6)2

y = (x – 5)(x + 3)(x + 1)(x – 5)

y = x4

Verified Answer :

i think y=x2+6x+9 hope this helps

Answer:

\(y=x^{2}+6x+9\)

\(y=-x^{3}\)

\(y=(x+2)(x+6)^{2}\)

\(y=(x-5)(x+3)(x+1)(x-5)\)

\(y=x^{4}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the graph is  tangent to the x-axis at one of its intercepts

then

the vertex of the graph or the inflection point of the graph lie on the x-axis

using a graphing tool

Verify each case

case A) \(y=x^{2}+6x+9\)

The case A) has a graph that is tangent to the x-axis at one of its intercepts

case B) \(y=-x^{3}\)

The case B) has a graph that is tangent to the x-axis at one of its intercepts

case C) \(y=(x+2)(x+6)^{2}\)

The case C) has a graph that is tangent to the x-axis at one of its intercepts

case D) \(y=(x-5)(x+3)(x+1)(x-5)\)    

The case D) has a graph that is tangent to the x-axis at one of its intercepts

case E) \(y=x^{4}\)  

The case E) has a graph that is tangent to the x-axis at one of its intercepts
