Question
Find the polynomial having roots at −2 , −4 and −3 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=x3+9x2+26x+24
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
−2 | x+2 |
−4 | x+4 |
−3 | x+3 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(x+2)⋅(x+4)⋅(x+3)=x3+9x2+26x+24
