Hey I can help :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so since the zeros are 2,3,5 we can write the factored equation as (x-2)(x-3)(x-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then is it x^2+4x+5.... this is what i got the second time i tried it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still confused o_O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.. Iff we Multiply the factors and collect terms it gives us x^3-10x^2+31x-30 We can check this by reading off the zeros from graph of the function |dw:1358454191991:dw|
