Answer:

f(x) = x³ - x² - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

given a polynomial with zeros x = a, x = b, x = c

Then the factors are (x - a), (x - b) and (x - c)

and the polynomial is the product of the factors, that is

f(x) = k(x - a)(x - b)(x - c) ← where k is a multiplier

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

Here the zeros are x = 2, x = - 1 and x = 0, thus the factors are

(x - 2), (x + 1) and (x - 0) , thus

y = kx(x - 2)(x + 1) ← let k = 1 and expand factors

 = x(x² - x - 2) = x³ - x² - 2x

Hence a possible polynomial is

f(x) = x³ - x² - 2x

Answer:

f(x) = x^3 - x^2 -2x

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = a is a zero of a polynomial, then x-a is a factor of the polynomial. Given the factors of a polynomial, the polynomial can be obtained by multiplying the factors.

The factors of the given polynomial are;

x - 2

x + 1

x

Multiplying the first two factors;

(x-2)(x+1) = x^2 + x -2x -2

              = x^2 -x -2

We finally multiply this result by x to obtain our polynomial;

f(x) = x ( x^2 -x -2)

      = x^3 - x^2 -2x

which is a cubic polynomial since it has 3 roots.

Solve the following system of equations by substation.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

C. (-1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Label the 2 equations:

5y= 7x +22 -----(1)

x= -6y +17 -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

5y= 7(-6y +17) +22

5y= -42y +119 +22 <em>(</em><em>Expand</em><em> </em><em>bracket</em><em>)</em>

5y= -42y +141 <em>(</em><em>Simplify</em><em>)</em>

42y +5y= 141 <em>(</em><em>+</em><em>42y</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

47y= 141

y= 141 ÷47 <em>(</em><em>÷</em><em>4</em><em>7</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

y= 3

Substitute y= 3 into (2):

x= -6(3) +17

x= -18 +17

x= -1

Thus, the solution is (-1, 3).
