Observe the graph :
\Since the graph has three turning points, the degree of the function is at least .
The fourth degree polynomial function be in the form .
The curve crosses the - axis at
and
.
So the polynomial function has a real zeros at and
.
Note that because is a minimum point it occurs twice as a zero of the function.
If is a real zero of a polynomial function
, then
is a factor of
.
Therefore, and
are factors of
.
Thus, the polynomial function is .
.
The -intercept of the graph is
.
This means .
Substitute in
.
.
Therefore, the possible polynomial function is .
.
