Question
Find the polynomial having roots at 0 , −6 and −5 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=x3+11x2+30x
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
0 | x |
−6 | x+6 |
−5 | x+5 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=x⋅(x+6)⋅(x+5)=x3+11x2+30x
