Form a polynomial f(x) with real coefficient with the given degree and zeros. Degree:3 Zeros;-2+5i; -5 multiply 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it really say \(-5\) with multiplicity 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if so there is no way this is going to be a polynomial of degree 3, it will have degree 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one factor will be \[(x+5)^2\] which will make \(-5\) a zero with multiplicity 2 the other factor will be a quadratic polynomial with zeros \(-2+5i\) and \(-2-5i\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can show you how to find the quadratic if you like , but you will end up with a fourth degree polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it says -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe its \[(x+5^2)\] ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

,y apologies the degree is 4
