Question
Find the polynomial having roots at −514 , 0 and 514 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=25x3−196x
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
−514 | 5x+14 |
0 | x |
514 | 5x−14 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(5x+14)⋅x⋅(5x−14)=25x3−196x
