Answer:

The 6th degree polynomial is p(x) = (x-1)^3(x-4)^2(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeros of a function:

Given a polynomial f(x), this polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{n} such that it can be written as: a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})*...*(x-x_n), in which a is the leading coefficient.

Zero 1 with multiplicity 3.

So

p(x) = (x-1)^3

Zero 4 with multiplicity 2.

Considering also the zero 1 with multiplicity 3.

p(x) = (x-1)^3(x-4)^2

Zero -3 with multiplicity 1:

Considering the previous zeros:

p(x) = (x-1)^3(x-4)^2(x-(-3)) = (x-1)^3(x-4)^2(x+3)

Degree is the multiplication of the multiplicities of the zeros. So

3*2*1 = 6

The 6th degree polynomial is p(x) = (x-1)^3(x-4)^2(x+3)
