Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The curve crosses the x axis (has zeros) at -1 and -4
Therefore it has factors of (x + 1) and (x + 4) and possibly a constant factor C
y = C(x + 1)(x + 4)
plug in the known y intercept
16 = C(0 + 1)(0 + 4)
16 = 4C
C = 4
as they are looking for two factors and one is give as (x + 1), the other must be C(x + 4) = 4(x + 4) = 4x + 16
