Answer:
P(x) = - 7x² + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given zeros x = 2, x = - 2, x = , x = -
Then the factors are (x - 2), (x + 2), (x - ), (x +
)
and the polynomial is the product of the factors, that is
P(x) = (x - 2)(x + 2)(x - )(x +
) ← expand in pairs using FOIL
= (x² - 4)(x² - 3) ← distribute
= - 3x² - 4x² + 12 ← collect like terms
= - 7x² + 12
