Question
Find the polynomial having roots at −41 , 2 and −3 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=4x3+5x2−23x−6
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
−41 | 4x+1 |
2 | x−2 |
−3 | x+3 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(4x+1)⋅(x−2)⋅(x+3)=4x3+5x2−23x−6
