Question
Find the polynomial having roots at 21 , 2 and 3 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=2x3−11x2+17x−6
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
21 | 2x−1 |
2 | x−2 |
3 | x−3 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(2x−1)⋅(x−2)⋅(x−3)=2x3−11x2+17x−6
