PLEASE HELP MEEEE Find the polynomial f(x) that has the roots of -2, 3 of multiplicity 2. Explain how you would verify the zeros of f(x).

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Can you solve this equation: (x+2)(x-4)=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2-2x-8

OpenStudy (mertsj):

When we say solve we mean find the values of x that make the sentence true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x= -2 x=4 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like that ?

@Mertsj

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So now let's reverse the process. If we know the answer is -2, then we know that the factor was x-(-2) or x+2

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If we know the answer is 4, then we know that the factor was x-4

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Apply that to your problem because they give you the answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't get what that means @Mertsj
