ACTIVITY 2 - Given the polynomial function p(x) = x3 + 4x2-7x- 10, or in factored form p(x) = (x+5) (x+1) (x- 2) S a. Determine the x-intercepts and y-intercept b. Construct a table of signs INTERVALS -1 2 Test values (x+5) (x+1) (x-2) P(x) = (x+5)(x+1)(x – 2) Position of the curve relative to the x- axis c. Sketch the graph (Use a separate sheet of paper)
