# Lesson 6

Different Forms

### Problem 1

$$f(x)=(x+3)(x-4)$$ and $$g(x)=\frac13(x+3)(x-4)$$. The graphs of each are shown here.

### Problem 2

For each polynomial function, rewrite the polynomial in standard form. Then state its degree and constant term.

1. $$f(x)=(x+1)(x+3)(x-4)$$
2. $$g(x)=3(x+1)(x+3)(x-4)$$
