Question

Polynomials! Can somebody please explain the steps to create a polynomial equation from roots -6, -1, 4?

Answer 1

@phi Can you help me?

Answer 2

the "roots" means
x= -6
x= -1
or x= 4

rewrite each of those equations so all the terms are on the left side.
can you do that ?

Answer 3

x+6=0 x+1=0 x-4=0

Answer 4

now multiply the equations like this:
(x+6)(x+1)(x-4) = 0
that is your polynomial
you can re-write it in "standard form" by multiplying it out

Answer 5

so it would be x^3+3x^2-22x-24
