<u>Answer:</u>

The equation of a polynomial of degree 3, with zeros 1, 2 and -1 is x^{3}-2 x^{2}-x+2=0

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, the polynomial has degree 3 and roots as 1, 2, and -1. And f(0) = 2.

We have to find the equation of the above polynomial.

We know that, general equation of 3rd degree polynomial is  

F(x)=x^{3}-(a+b+c) x^{2}+(a b+b c+a c) x-a b c=0

where a, b, c are roots of the polynomial.

Here in our problem, a = 1, b = 2, c = -1.

Substitute the above values in f(x)

F(x)=x^{3}-(1+2+(-1)) x^{2}+(1 \times 2+2(-1)+1(-1)) x-1 \times 2 \times(-1)=0

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow x^{3}-(3-1) x^{2}+(2-2-1) x-(-2)=0} \\ {\rightarrow x^{3}-(2) x^{2}+(-1) x-(-2)=0} \\ {\rightarrow x^{3}-2 x^{2}-x+2=0}\end{array}

So, the equation is x^{3}-2 x^{2}-x+2=0

Let us put x = 0 in f(x) to check whether our answer is correct or not.

\mathrm{F}(0) \rightarrow 0^{3}-2(0)^{2}-0+2=2

Hence, the equation of the polynomial is x^{3}-2 x^{2}-x+2=0

What is x?<br><br> 3x - 4 + 1 = - 2x - 5 + 5x
ehidna [41]
3x - 4 + 1 = -2x - 5 + 5x

First, simplify 3x - 4 + 1 to 3x - 3. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 3 = -3x - 5 + 5x
Second, simplify -2x - 5 + 5x to 3x - 5. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 3 = 3x - 5
Third, cancel 3x on both sides. / Your problem should look like: -3 = -5
Fourth, since -3 = -5 is false, there is no solution.

Answer: No solution
