The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: $ P(x) = x^4-7x^3+2x^2+40x $
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
$ 0 $ | $ x $ |
$ 4 $ | $ x-4 $ |
$ 5 $ | $ x-5 $ |
$ -2 $ | $ x+2 $ |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
$$ P(x) = x \cdot \left( x-4 \right) \cdot \left( x-5 \right) \cdot \left( x+2 \right) = x^4-7x^3+2x^2+40x $$
