All i know is the
Roots are -3,2,6

hollow grotto
#

i got -20(x+3)(x-2)^2(x-6)

y=q(x-a)(x-b)(x-c), plug in the values for a b and c, and the point (-2, -32) and you should b able to get the answer.

Hold on, let me try.

Wait I’m dumb

#

I did it wrong, yes it works

#

Omg I’m so dumb, I wrote 4^2=4 bruh

vagrant cairn
#

It’s a quartic.

#

So it should be y=(x-a)(x-b)(x-c)(x-d)

#

Idk how I overlooked that

hollow grotto
#

i got a negative number which is weird because the function is positive

Btw even if it was a cubic it would be 1, not -20

hollow grotto
#

wait y=q(x+3)(x-2)^2(x-6)

#

is this a good start?

vagrant cairn
#

do y=q(x+3)(x-2)(x-6)(x-2)

#

That should get you the answer

#

whats the value of d?

#

-2?
