Question
Find the polynomial having roots at 31 , 2 and 3 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=3x3−16x2+23x−6
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
31 | 3x−1 |
2 | x−2 |
3 | x−3 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(3x−1)⋅(x−2)⋅(x−3)=3x3−16x2+23x−6
