Choice B is correct. Each of the given choices is an equation of the form , where , , , and are positive constants. In the xy-plane, the graph of an equation of this form has x-intercepts at , , and . The graph shown has x-intercepts at , , and . Therefore, and . Of the given choices, only choices A and B have and . For an equation in the form , if all values of that are less than or greater than correspond to negative y-values, then the sum of all the exponents of the factors on the right-hand side of the equation is even. In the graph shown, all values of less than or greater than correspond to negative y-values. Therefore, the sum of all the exponents of the factors on the right-hand side of the equation must be even. For choice A, the sum of these exponents is , or , which is odd. For choice B, the sum of these exponents is , or , which is even. Therefore, could be the equation of the graph shown.
Choice A is incorrect. For the graph of this equation, all values of less than correspond to positive, not negative, y-values.
Choice C is incorrect. The graph of this equation has x-intercepts at , , and , rather than x-intercepts at , , and .
Choice D is incorrect. The graph of this equation has x-intercepts at , , and , rather than x-intercepts at , , and .
