A second degree polynomial function has the general form:

                  \displaystyle{f(x)=ax^2+bx+c, where a\neq0.

The leading coefficient is a, so we have a=-1.

5 is a double root means that :

i) f(5)=0,
ii) the discriminant D is 0, where D=b^2-4ac.

Substituting x=5, we have

                                        f(5)=a(5)^2+b(5)+c,

and since f(5)=0, and a is -1 we have:

                                          0=-25+5b+c
thus c=25-5b.


By ii) \displaystyle{b^2-4ac=0.

Substituting a with -1 and c with 25-5b we have:
                                     
          \displaystyle{b^2-4ac=0
          \displaystyle{b^2-4(-1)(25-5b)=0
          \displaystyle{b^2+4(25-5b)=0
          \displaystyle{b^2-20b+100=0
          \displaystyle{(b-10)^2=0
          \displaystyle{b=10 


Finally we find c: c=25-5b=25-50=-25

Thus the function is        \displaystyle{f(x)=-x^2+10x-25


Remark: It is also possible to solve the problem by considering the form

f(x)=-1(x-5)^2 directly.

In general, if a quadratic function has leading coefficient a, and has a root r of multiplicity 2, then its form is f(x)=a(x-r)^2

Answer:

The zeros are:

x =4, x=2, x = 5

  • The function has three distinct real zeros.

Hence, option (B) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

h\left(x\right)=\left(x-4\right)^2\left(x^2-7x+\:10\right)

Let us determine the zeros of the function by putting h(x) = 0 and solving the expression

0=\left(x-4\right)^2\left(x^2-7x+10\right)

switch sides

\left(x-4\right)^2\left(x^2-7x+10\right)=0

as

x^2-7x+\:10=\left(x-2\right)\left(x-5\right)

so

\left(x-4\right)^2\left(x-2\right)\left(x-5\right)=0

Using the zero factor principle

  • \mathrm{If}\:ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)

so

x-4=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-2=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-5=0

x =4, x=2, x = 5

Thus, the zeros are:

x =4, x=2, x = 5

It is clear that there are three zeros and all the zeros are distinct real numbers.

Therefore,

  • The function has three distinct real zeros.

Hence, option (B) is true.
