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.

*No Picture* Find all real zeros of the function y = 2x - 4 a. 2 b. (2, –4) c. −4 d. −2
anygoal [31]

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeroes of a function are when y = 0 so we can write 0 = 2x - 4 so we have to solve for x and when we do so we get x = 2.

Solve the system. x+12y=68 x=8y-12
julsineya [31]
X+12y=68
x=8y-12

(8y-12) +12y=68
20y-12=68
20y=80
y=40

x=8(40)-12
x=320-12
x=308
