Use the graph of the polynomial function to find the factored form of the related polynomial. Assume it has no constant factor.
5
A. (x + 1)(x - 7)
B. (x + 1)(x + 7)
C. (x - 1)(x - 7)
D. (x - 1)(x + 7)

The answer is

(x-1) (x-9)

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
