Question

Which of the following polynomials has zeros at x = –4 and x = 7?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct option is 4.

Explanation:

It is given that the polynomial has two zeros at x=-4 and x=7.

If a polynomial has zeros at x=c then (x-c) is a factor of the polynomial.

Since the polynomial has two zeros at x=-4 and x=7, therefore the polynomial has factor (x+4) and (x-7).

$P(x)=(x+4)(x-7)$

$P(x)=x(x-7)+4(x-7)$

$P(x)=x^2-7x+4x-28$

$P(x)=x^2-3x-28$

This equation is represented by option 4, therefore the option 4 is correct and the equation $P(x)=x^2-3x-28$ has zeros at x = –4 and x = 7.
