Which of the following graphs could be the graph of the function
[tex]f(x)=0.03x^2(x^2-25)[/tex]




The given function is
[tex]f(x) = 0.03x^2 (x^2-25)[/tex]
To check out the graph, first we have to find the zeroes and there multiplicities .
TO find the zero, we put 0 for f(x), and solve for x, that is
[tex]0.03x^2(x-5)(x+5)=0 \\ 0.03x^2 =0, x-5=0, x+5=0 \\ x=0 \ multiplicity \ 2, x=5 \ multiplicity \ 1, x=-5 \ multiplicity \ 1[/tex]
With odd multiplicity, the graph crosses the x axis and for even multiplicity, the graph takes a u turn at the zero .
So the correct graph is represented by first option .
