Question
Find the polynomial having roots at −2 , −32 and 0 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=3x3+8x2+4x
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
−2 | x+2 |
−32 | 3x+2 |
0 | x |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(x+2)⋅(3x+2)⋅x=3x3+8x2+4x
