Question

equation

Answer 1

thats correct :)

Answer 2

just don't write =0
polynomial is asked,not the equation

Answer 3

(x^2+16) would be the answer

Answer 4

@hartnn you cant have roots without = 0 o.O

Answer 5

^ yeah isn't that true?

Answer 6

@lgbasallote a ploynomial is asked!
like f(x) is asked
when u say roots of f(x) it is then u write f(x)=0 to find roots.
but a ploynomial never has =0

Answer 7

Answer 8

well ok. i haven't learned this topic yet so @hartnn is more right than me. he's smarter than me.

Answer 9

what u are talking about is polynomial equation.

Answer 10

lol no one ever gets sarcasm.

in these questions.. "polynomial" is implied to have = 0

take this for example http://www.chacha.com/question/write-a-polynomial-of-the-smallest-degree-with-roots-1,-%26%2345%3B3,-and-4

Answer 11

so for example:
Write a polynomial of the smallest degree with roots 6, 3i, and -3i.
r^1 = 6 r^2 = 3i r^3 = -3i

(x - 6) (x - 3i) (x + 3i)

and the answer would be X^3 – 6x^2 + 9x – 54 ?
I don't need to the "= 0 " at the end?

Answer 12

add*

Answer 13

yes,u don't need =0

Answer 14

check that in the answer its written 4th degree polynomial 'function' and not just polynomial....

Answer 15

oh okay.
