Question
Find the polynomial having roots at 32 , −1 and 2 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=3x3−5x2−4x+4
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
32 | 3x−2 |
−1 | x+1 |
2 | x−2 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(3x−2)⋅(x+1)⋅(x−2)=3x3−5x2−4x+4
