Determine the equation whose roots are -3, -3, and 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the answer choices?

You can write the equation in factorized form, \[(x+3)^2(x-3)\]

OpenStudy (john_es):

And then, expand, \[(x^2+9+6x)(x-3)= x^3+ 3 x^2-9x-27\]

OpenStudy (john_es):

Viewing the picture, I would say it's the first option.

OpenStudy (john_es):

But it will be better that you try to reach to the same result by hand. ;)

OpenStudy (john_es):

Also, remember that a polinomy that has roots a,b,c,d,.. always can be factorized in the form, \[(x-a)(x-b)(x-c)\cdots\]
