I really need help with this question. The following graph shows a seventh-degree polynomial: graph of a polynomial that touches the x axis at negative 5, crosses the x axis at negative 1, crosses the y axis at negative 2, crosses the x axis at 4, and crosses the x axis at 7. Part 1: List the polynomial’s zeroes with possible multiplicities. Part 2: Write a possible factored form of the seventh degree function.

will , polynomial’s zeroes are all points x that lies on (x,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you find them ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, would it be -5,-1,4, and 7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5,-1, and the interval [3,5_4,5]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7 is not a root for the function , since f(0)=7 not f(7)=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, that makes some sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok how to write possible factors ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to write a possible factored form in the seventh degree function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will since you know the zeros x1,x2,... then factorize would be :- (x-x1) (x-x2) (x-x3) ....=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So is that it in the seventh degree function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep :)
