PLEASE HELPRay needs help creating the second part of the coaster. Create a unique parabola in the pattern f(x) = (x − a)(x − b). Describe the direction of the parabola and determine the y-intercept and zeros. Create a graph of the polynomial function you created in Question 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

They’re both correct! A zero is oftentimes used interchangeably to refer to “intercept”, but in fact it means x-intercept specifically. A third degree polynomial can have three zeroes (three degrees = three zeroes), but you must remember that it can also have a y-intercept - so four intercepts in total. In this way, they can both be correct.
