Could some one help me work out these problems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-2,0,1 x=0,4,-1/2 Write the polynomial given the zeros for each problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I already know the answers 1.(x(x+2(x-1) 2.x(x-4)92x+1) but I need to show my work, the reason I know my answers is because are teacher gave us the answer key because it's just a study guide. But I need to know how to get them.

HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you can multiply out if you like

OpenStudy (misty1212):

the reasoning is this: if \(r\) is a zero of \(p(x)\) then \(x-r\) is a factor of \(p(x)\)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

that is why if \(-2,0,2\) are zeros it factors as \[(x-(-2))(x-0)(x-2)\] or just \[(x+2)x(x-2)\]

Oh okay, thank you.
