| 2x + 6| - 4 = 20 has two absolute values
solution 1
2x + 6 - 4 = 20 --> 2x + 2 = 20 --> 2x = 18 --> x = 9
2 (9) + 6 - 4 = 24- 4 = 20 ✔
solution 2
2x - 6 - 4 = 20 --> 2x - 10 = 20 --> 2x = 10 --> x = 5
2 (5) - 6 - 4 = 10- 10 = 0

What is the polynomial function of least degree whose only zeros are -3, ,-2, and 4 ?
victus00 [196]

Answer: (x³ - 2x² - 11x + 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that zeroes can be transformed into factors by subtracting them from x. This gives us the following factors:

(x - 1)(x + 3)(x - 4)

Now, if you multiply the first two factors together, you get the following:

(x² + 2x - 3)

Multiply that by the last factor, (x - 4), and you get this:

(x³ + 2x² - 3x - 4x² - 8x + 12)

This can be simplified:

(x³ - 2x² - 11x + 12)

And there's your final answer. Hope this helped! (x³ - 2x² - 11x + 12)
