Which statement describes the graph of this polynomial function?
f(x)=x^5 - 6x^4 + 9x^3
The graph crosses the x axis at x = 0 and touches the x axis at x = 3.
The graph touches the x axis at x = 0 and crosses the x axis at x = 3.
The graph crosses the x axis at x = 0 and touches the x axis at x = –3.
The graph touches the x axis at x = 0 and crosses the x axis at x = –3.

Answered by maham237 @



we have

f(x)=x^5 - 6x^4 + 9x^3

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The graph crosses the x axis at x=0 and touches the x axis at x=3.

therefore

the answer is the option

The graph crosses the x axis at x=0 and touches the x axis at x=3.
