Question
Find the polynomial having roots at 41 , 21 and 2 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=8x3−22x2+13x−2
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
41 | 4x−1 |
21 | 2x−1 |
2 | x−2 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(4x−1)⋅(2x−1)⋅(x−2)=8x3−22x2+13x−2
