Question
Find the polynomial having roots at 0 , 3 , 29 and 10 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=2x4−35x3+177x2−270x
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
0 | x |
3 | x−3 |
29 | 2x−9 |
10 | x−10 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=x⋅(x−3)⋅(2x−9)⋅(x−10)=2x4−35x3+177x2−270x
