Question

URGENT i need quick math help rn please:)

find the polynomial function with the following roots -1 of multiplicity 2 and 3

Answer 1

Multiplicity 2 means you're using that same root twice. So we will FOIL out (x+1)(x+1)(x-3). Doing that multiplying gives us
`x^3+2x^2+x-3x^2-6x-3`. Combining like terms gives us the third degree polynomial we are looking for:
`x^3-x^2-5x-3`
