Question
Find the polynomial having roots at −7 , 3 and 3 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=x3+x2−33x+63
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
−7 | x+7 |
3 | x−3 |
3 | x−3 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(x+7)⋅(x−3)⋅(x−3)=x3+x2−33x+63
