Question

What is a polynomial in factored form and standard form of degree 7 or greater with at least two positive zeros, at least one negative zero. ​

Answer 1

if a polynomial of lowest degree p has zeros at x=x1,x2,…,xn x = x 1 , x 2 , … , x n , then the polynomial can be written in the factored form: f(x)=a(x−x1)p1(x−x2)p2⋯(x−xn)pn f ( x ) = a ( x − x 1 ) p 1 ( x − x 2 ) p 2 ⋯ ( x − x n ) p n where the powers pi on each factor can be determined by the behavior of the graph ...
