Answer:

A least degree polynomial, having rational coefficients and a leading coefficient of 2, with,-4, 0, 2, and 4 as the zeros of the polynomial is;

f(x) = 2·x⁴ - 4·x³ - 32·x² + 64·x

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the polynomial are;

The leading coefficient of the polynomial = 2

The zeros of the polynomial = -4, 0, 2, 4

We note that zeros of -4, and 4 gives a factor of the form, (x² - 4²)

For a zero of the polynomial equal to 0, one of the factors of the polynomial is equal to 'x'

To have a leading coefficient of 2, we can add '2' as a factor of the polynomial

Therefore, we can have the factors of the polynomial as follows;

(x² - 4²)·2·x×(x - 2) = 0

From the above equation, using a graphing calculator, we get the following possible polynomial;

(x² - 4²)·2·x×(x - 2) = 2·x⁴ - 4·x³ - 32·x² + 64·x = 0

Therefore, a polynomial, function of least degree that has rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 2,and the zeros, -4, 0, 2, and 4 is  f(x) = 2·x⁴ - 4·x³ - 32·x² + 64·x.
