Question
Find the polynomial having roots at −3 , −4 and −6 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=x3+13x2+54x+72
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
−3 | x+3 |
−4 | x+4 |
−6 | x+6 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(x+3)⋅(x+4)⋅(x+6)=x3+13x2+54x+72
