first off, let's notice the graph touches the x-axis at -1 and 3, namely, those are the zeros/solutions/roots of the polynomial and therefore, the factors come from those points.
now, at -1, the graph doesn't cross the x-axis, instead it <u>simply bounces off</u> of it, that means the zero of x = -1, has an even multiplicity, could be 4 or 2 or 6, but let's go with 2.
at x = 3, the graph does cross the x-axis, meaning it has an odd multiplicity, could be 3 or 1, or 7 or 9, but let's use 1.
Answer:
sin(-a)= -15 /17
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright, lets remember that sin(x) is odd function, which means that
wherever you watch an expression like this: sin(-a), you can use the odd functions property, and turn it like the following
sin(-a)= - sin(a)
Now, other thing to remember:
So, we can obtain any value for sin(x) function starting from the opposite function, cos(x), using the following:
So, if cos(a)= - 8 / 17, using the above equation we obtain the value for sin(a)
Using the odd function property, we get the following result
sin(-a)= - sin(a) = -15/17
