The factors of a polynomial tell us the points where the graph intersects the x-axis.
From the graph provided in the question, the graph cuts the x-axis at the points:
[tex]x=-4,x=-2,x=1[/tex]
Therefore, the factors will be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=-4,x+4=0 \\ x=-2,x+2=0 \\ x=1,x-1=0 \\ \therefore \\ factors\Rightarrow(x+4),(x+2),(x-1) \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the polynomial will be:
[tex]f(x)=(x+4)(x+2)(x-1)[/tex]
OPTION C is the correct option.
