Answer 1

Answer:

The polynomial will be P(x) = - 5 (x + 2)²(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of the polynomial P(x) is 3 and it has zeros at x = - 2 with multiplicity 2 and at x = 3 with multiplicity 1.

Therefore, (x + 2)² and (x - 3) are the factors of the equation.

Let the polynomial is

P(x) = a(x + 2)²(x - 3) ........... (1)

Now, the polynomial passes through the point (2,80).

So, from equation (1) we gat,

80 = a(4)²(-1)

⇒ a = - 5

Therefore, the polynomial will be P(x) = - 5 (x + 2)²(x - 3) (Answer)
