The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: $ P(x) = x^3+2x^2-11x-12 $
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
$ -4 $ | $ x+4 $ |
$ -1 $ | $ x+1 $ |
$ 3 $ | $ x-3 $ |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
$$ P(x) = \left( x+4 \right) \cdot \left( x+1 \right) \cdot \left( x-3 \right) = x^3+2x^2-11x-12 $$
