Question

Write a polynomial function in standard form with the given zeros.

x= 1,1,2

Steps please?

Answer 1

Pull the factored form of the polynomial out of the air! You should have a theorem that states something like this: If 'a' is a zero of a polynomial, then (x-a) is a factor of that polynomial.

So, using this theorem, you have zeros 1, 1, and 2. What are the three factors associated with these three zeros?

Answer 2

(x-1)(x-1)(x-2)?

Answer 3

Right on target! You're almost done. There is multiplication in your future!
