Question
Find the polynomial having roots at 2 , −21 and 35 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=6x3−19x2+9x+10
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
2 | x−2 |
−21 | 2x+1 |
35 | 3x−5 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(x−2)⋅(2x+1)⋅(3x−5)=6x3−19x2+9x+10
