Question
Find the polynomial having roots at 43 , −3 and 2 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=4x3+x2−27x+18
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
43 | 4x−3 |
−3 | x+3 |
2 | x−2 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(4x−3)⋅(x+3)⋅(x−2)=4x3+x2−27x+18
