15
Explanation:
If the zero is c, the factor is (x-c).
So for zeros of
−
3
,
−
1
3
,
5
, the factors are
(
x
+
3
)
(
x
+
1
3
)
(
x
−
5
)
Let's take a look at the factor
(
x
+
1
3
)
. Using the factor in this form will not result in integer coefficients because
1
3
is not an integer.
Move the
3
in front of the x and leave the
1
in place:
(
3
x
+
1
)
.
When set equal to zero and solved, both
(
x
+
1
3
)
=
0
and
(
3
x
+
1
)
=
0
result in
x
=
−
1
3
.
f
(
x
)
=
(
x
+
3
)
(
3
x
+
1
)
(
x
−
5
)
Multiply the first two factors.
f
(
x
)
=
(
3
x
2
+
10
x
+
3
)
(
x
−
5
)
Multiply/distribute again.
f
(
x
)
=
3
x
3
+
10
x
2
+
3
x
−
15
x
2
−
50
x
−
15
Combine like terms.
f
(
x
)
=
3
x
3
−
5
x
2
−
47
x
−
15
0.875 as a fraction is 7/8 because 875/100 is equal to 7/8
