Please check this for me a quick alg 2 problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find a polynomial fx of degree 4 that has the following zeros. 5, 0, −8, 7 Leave your answer in factored form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it (x-5)(x-0)(x+8)(x-7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^4-4x^3-51x^2+280x

hartnn (hartnn):

your math is correct girl :) (x-5)(x-0)(x+8)(x-7) you can just write x=0 as x only

hartnn (hartnn):

x-0***

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so it is asking for (x-5) x (x+8)(x-7) @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

x(x-5) (x+8)(x-7) looks better :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh so that is the right answer

hartnn (hartnn):

*factored form* all those 4 -- x, x-5, x+8, x-7 are called the factors and yes :)

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes just write like this x ( x -5)(x+8)(x-7) polynomial equation have x as GCF for example like this |dw:1418576768003:dw|
