Please Help!!
What polynomial has roots of -6, -4, and 1?

Answer 1

The answer choices are:

x3 - 9x2 - 22x + 24

x3 - x2 - 26x - 24

x3 + x2 - 26x + 24

x3 + 9x2 + 14x - 24

Answer 2

If a,b,c are roots of a polynomial, then the simplest polynomial is:
(x-a)(x-b)(x-c).

Answer 3

I'm not sure I follow...so how does that apply in this situation? Sorry I'm really bad at math.

Answer 4

Here -6, -4, and 1 are the roots.
That means the simplest polynomial is: (x - (-6)) * (x - (-4)) * (x-1) or
(x+6)(x+4)(x-1)
Multiply it out and simplify.
