Answer:

The answer in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\(f(x)=x^{3}-5x^{2} +2x+8\)

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of the function when the value of x is equal to zero

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

Using a graphing tool-------> Find the  intercepts of the function

see the attached figure

The y-intercept is \(8\)

The x-intercepts are \(-1,2,4\)

therefore

Answer:

II graph is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are 4 graphs and we have to find out the match for

\(f(x) = x^3 - 5x^2 + 2x + 8\)

To find y intercept:

Put x=0

y intercept = 8.  The second graph has this intercept

To find x intercept

Let f(x) =0 to get y intercepts

The given funciton has factors as

\((x+2)(x-1)(x-3)\)

So x intercepts are -2, 1, 3 and this matches with II graph

Increasing:

\(f'(x) = 3x^2-10x+2\\\)

f'(x) =0 for x =0.214 and 3.12

OUr II graph has critical points at these values

SO option II is right
