Question
Find the polynomial having roots at −6 , −4 and −4 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=x3+14x2+64x+96
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
−6 | x+6 |
−4 | x+4 |
−4 | x+4 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(x+6)⋅(x+4)⋅(x+4)=x3+14x2+64x+96
