Question
Find the polynomial having roots at 0 , 21 and −3 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=2x3+5x2−3x
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
0 | x |
21 | 2x−1 |
−3 | x+3 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=x⋅(2x−1)⋅(x+3)=2x3+5x2−3x
