Find the polynomial having roots at $2$ , $5$ , $- 4$ and $1$ .

Answer

The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: $P (x) = x^{4} - 4 x^{3} - 15 x^{2} + 58 x - 40$

Explanation

Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:

Zero	Factor
$2$	$x - 2$
$5$	$x - 5$
$- 4$	$x + 4$
$1$	$x - 1$

Step 2: Multiply the factors together:

P (x) = (x - 2) \cdot (x - 5) \cdot (x + 4) \cdot (x - 1) = x^{4} - 4 x^{3} - 15 x^{2} + 58 x - 40
