Question

Write a polynomial in standard form with zeros at -2 and 3 !!!!! PLZ HELP

Answer 1

The answer is X^2 - X - 6

Answer 2

If the zeros are -2 and 3, then the factored form would be

(x+2) and (x-3)  

-2+2 = 0 and 3-3 = 0

A polynomial is written as ax^2 + bx + c

Expand (x+2) (x-3) using FOIL: Multiply each tern in one set of parenthesis by each term in the other set and then simplify by combining like terms:

x*x + x*-3 + 2*x + 2*-3

x^2 -3x + 2x -6

Polynomial in standard form:

x^2 -x -6
