Question

Write a polynomial equation with integer coefficients that has the given roots. x=-8 x=7

Answer 1

so the roots have to be -8 and 7 ?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

To find the equation it should be in the form
(x-_)(x-_)=0
We have to plug in -8 and 7 into it.

Answer 4

ok lets see

Answer 5

And then we multiply it out to get the equation.

Answer 6

so it s(x-8)(x-7)=0 ?

Answer 7

So
(x-(-8))(x-7)=0

Answer 8

x-(-8)=x+8

Answer 9

Answer 10

my apology , I am a bit confused

Answer 11

Because x+8=0
then x=-8

Answer 12

the polynomial equation is x-(-8)=x+8 ?

Answer 13

x+8=0
x=-8
what about x=7 ?

Answer 14

so then to make x=7
just subtract 7
we get
x-7=0

Answer 15

so now we multiply
(x-7)(x+8)=0
