Answer:
The polynomial will be .
Step-by-step explanation:
The three degree polynomial function f(x) has zeros at x = 0 and at x = 4 having multiplicity 2.
Therefore, (x - 0) and (x - 4)² will be factors of the polynomial f(x).
Hence, the polynomial will be f(x) = Ax(x - 4)² .............. (1), where A is any constant that we have to evaluate.
Now, given that f(5) = 20
So, from the equation (1) we have
20 = A(5)(5 - 2)²
⇒
Therefore, the polynomial will be (Answer)
Because this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, and the vertex dictates what the minimum value of the function is. In order to determine the vertex, I recommend completing the square. Do that by first setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the 9 to the other side by subtraction. So far: 
. Now, to complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, and add that number to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3 and 3 squared is 9. So add 9 to both sides. 
. The right side reduces to 0, and the left side simplifies to the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process. 
. Move the 0 back over and the vertex is clear now. It is (-3, 0). Therefore, 0 is the minimum point on your graph. The first choice above is the one you want.
