Answer:

a) P (x) = (x + 3) (x-1) (x-4)

b) P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)

c) P (x) = (x-3) (x-1) (x-4) (x + 1) ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>For the question a *</u> you need to find a polynomial of degree 3 with zeros in -3, 1 and 4.

This means that the polynomial P(x) must be zero when x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

Then write the polynomial in factored form.

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

Note that this polynomial has degree 3 and is zero at x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

<u>For question b, do the same procedure</u>.

Degree: 3

Zeros: -5/2, 4/5, 6.

The factors are

x = -\frac{5}{2}\\\\x +\frac{5}{2} = 0\\\\(2x +5) = 0

---------------------------------------

x =\frac{4}{5}\\\\x-\frac{4}{5} = 0\\\\(5x-4) = 0

--------------------------------------

x = 6\\\\(x-6) = 0

--------------------------------------

P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)

<u>Finally for the question c we have</u>

Degree: 5

Zeros: -3, 1, 4, -1

Multiplicity 2 in -1

x = -3\\\\(x-3) = 0

--------------------------------------

x = 1\\\\(x-1) = 0

--------------------------------------

x = 4\\\\(x-4) = 0

----------------------------------------

x = -1\\\\(x + 1) = 0

-----------------------------------------

P (x) = (x-3) (x-1) (x-4) (x + 1) ^ 2
