Question
Find the polynomial having roots at $ 4 $ , $ -5 $ and $ -8 $ .
Answer
The polynomial generated from the given zeros is: $ P(x) = x^3+9x^2-12x-160 $
Explanation
Step 1: Turn the zeros into factors:
| Zero | Factor |
| $ 4 $ | $ x-4 $ |
| $ -5 $ | $ x+5 $ |
| $ -8 $ | $ x+8 $ |
Step 2: Multiply the factors together:
$$ P(x) = \left( x-4 \right) \cdot \left( x+5 \right) \cdot \left( x+8 \right) = x^3+9x^2-12x-160 $$This page was created using
