What is a polynomial function in standard form with zeroes 1,2,-3, and -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is one of the threes positive?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the answer be g(x) x^4-3x^3-7x^2+15x+18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, work backwards then. To get those answers the polynomial factored would be (x-1)(x-2)(x-3)(x+3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then Im right or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Almost, the 15x and +18 isnt right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should it have been -15x+18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^4-3x^3-7x^2+27x-18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that one is not an option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill check again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok have options x^4+3x^3-7x^2-15x+18 x^4+3x^3-7x^2+2x+18 x^4-3x^3+7x^2+15x+18 x^4-3x^3-7x^2+15x+18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im still getting x^4-3x^3-7x^2+27x-18 The problem was find the polynomial with zeroes 1,2,3,-3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is a polynomial function in standard form with zeroes 1,2,-3, and -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey its x^4+3x^3-7x^2-15x+18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Looks like option 1!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get that if you dont mind me asking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i had option 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see the zeroes mean those values will make the eqn=0 Thus, the equation is (x-1)*(x-2)*(x+3)*(x+3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok that where i messed up I had -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have another question if you have time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure fire :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find all the zeroes of the equation x^3+x^2=-3x-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait....on it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2[x+1]=-3[x+1] => [x+1][x^2+3] => x=-1 the other 2 roots are complex :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my choices are i sgrt 3, -i sgrt 3, -1 i sgrt 3, -i sgrt 3, 1 sgrt 3, - sgrt3, -1 i sgrt 3, 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

option 1 is right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks do you have time for one more problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)
