Given the polynomial function f(x), find the rational zeros, then the other zeros (that is, solve the equation ), and factor f(x) into linear factors.f(x) = x4 + 18x3 + 71x2 - 18x - 72

A. -6, -1, 1, 12; f(x) = (x + 6)(x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 12)
B. -12, -6, -1, 1; f(x) = (x + 12)(x + 6)(x + 1)(x - 1)
C. -12, -6, 1, multiplicity 2; f(x) = (x + 12)(x + 6)(x - 1)2
D. -1, 1, 6, 12; f(x) = (x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 6)(x - 12)

Solve.A census was taken to determine the median annual income for residents of a selected region of the United States, by level of education. The given polynomial models describe the median annual income for men, M, and for women, W, who have completed x years of education. Shown in a rectangular coordinate system are the graphs of the polynomial models. Identify the median annual income for a woman with 20 years of education as a point on the appropriate graph.M = 224x2 - 1266x + 20,106W = 287x2 - 4030x + 33,761
