Draw the graph of the polynomial $ \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{x}^{2}-2 \mathrm{x}-8 $.


Given:

Given polynomial is \( \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{x}^{2}-2 \mathrm{x}-8 \).
To do:

We have to draw the graph of the given polynomial.

Solution:

 Let $y =f(x)= x^2 - 2x - 8$.

The following table gives the values of $f(x)$ for various values of x.

$x$$-4$$-3$$-2$$-1$$0$$1$$2$$3$$4$$5$
$f(x)$1670$-5$$-8$$-9$$-8$$-5$07


Plot the points $(-4, 16), (-3, 7), (-2, 0), (-1, -5), (0, - 8), (1, - 9), (2, - 8), (3, - 5), (4, 0), (5, 7)$ on a graph paper and draw a curve passing through these points.

The curve so obtained represents the graph of the polynomial $f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8$.
