The second degree polynomial with leading coefficient of -2 and root 4 with multiplicity of 2 is:
<h3>How to write the polynomial?</h3>
A polynomial of degree N, with the N roots {x₁, ..., xₙ} and a leading coefficient a is written as:
Here we know that the degree is 2, the only root is 4 (with a multiplicity of 2, this is equivalent to say that we have two roots at x = 4) and a leading coefficient equal to -2.
Then this polynomial is equal to:
