• f(x) = -x³+2x²-x-6
• f(x) = x⁴+x³+5x²-6

Match the graph to the function

• f(x) = x⁵-1
• f(x) = x⁵-6x³+8x+1
• f(x) = x³+8x+1
• f(x) = -x⁵-6x³+8x+1

Match the graph to the function

• y =  ^_(x + 2)(x - 1)²
• y = -(x - 2)(x + 1)²
• y = (x - 2)(x + 1)²
• y = -x³

• y = x(x - 3)(x - 2)
• y = x(x - 3)² (x+2)
• y = x(x + 3)² (x - 2)
• y = -x(x + 3)² (x - 2)
