Question
Find the polynomial having roots at 54 , −3 and 3 .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: P(x)=5x3−4x2−45x+36
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
Zero | Factor |
54 | 5x−4 |
−3 | x+3 |
3 | x−3 |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
P(x)=(5x−4)⋅(x+3)⋅(x−3)=5x3−4x2−45x+36
