Question

Write the polynomial of the smallest degree with roots 4, -2, 1, and 2.Use ^ for exponents. Do not type any spaces. Enter your answer as a function beginning with f(x).

Answer 1

well just right it out in factored form, then multiply them together one by one

(x-4)(x+2)(x-1)(x-2) now start expanding

Answer 2

f(x) = (x-4)(x+2)(x-1)(x-2)
