Use the graph of the polynomial function to find the factored form of the related polynomial. Assume it has no constant factor.

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

→ It cannot have a bx coefficient in ax² + bx + c which eliminates all but 1 option

  B.  (x +4)(x -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts are shown on the graph to be at x=-4 and x=4. For x-intercept p, there is a factor (x-p). That means the factored form is ...

  (x -(-4))(x -(4)) = (x +4)(x -4)

Additional comment

The product of these factors is x^2 -16, consistent with the vertex on the graph being located at (0, -16).
