Question
Find the polynomial having roots at 0 , 30 , 45 and 100 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=x4−175x3+8850x2−135000x
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
0 | x |
30 | x−30 |
45 | x−45 |
100 | x−100 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=x⋅(x−30)⋅(x−45)⋅(x−100)=x4−175x3+8850x2−135000x
