Find the third degree polynomial with real coefficients such that 5 and are zeros and Answer X^3+ 5x^2 + 2x – 96 4x^3 - 20x^2– 4x – 80 x3 – 5x2+ 4x – 20 2x3 – 10x2 – 8x + 40
do u know what it is @lilMissMindset
does anyone know??
you can factor the equations to get the value of the coefficient.
General Method for Cubic & higher degree polynomial is Synthetic Division. Factorise the polynomial by trail & error method which reduces into Quadratic polynomial (II nd degree polynomial ) then,as usual procedure (U may know it ) Another quicker method is, If sum of coeffcients of odd degree = sum of coeffcients of even degree ( including constant term ), then (x+1) is a factor and hence (-1) is a root. If sum of coeffcients of odd degree & even degree = 0 , then (x-1) is a factor and hence 1 is a root. If the above said doesnt work then go for other numbers both negative as well as positive.
the last two have a zero of 5 but the F(2) does not equal -96 so whaqt do i do??
