As per the problem
4 friends participated in a speed typing contest.
And the words per minute is as below:
F1: 320 words in 8 minutes
It mean the words per minute is
F2: 403 words in 10 minutes
It mean the words per minute is
F3: 474 words in 12 minutes
It mean the words per minute is
F4: 567 words in 14 minutes
It mean the words per minute is
On comparing the number of words per minutes in all the above cases we observe that F3 has the slowest Typing speed.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a third degree polynomial since we have 3 zeros. We find these zeros by factoring the given polynomial. The zeros of a polynomial are where the graph of the function goes through the x-axis (where y = 0). If x = -4, the factor that gives us this value is (x + 4) = 0 and solving that for x, we get x = -4. If x = -2, the factor that gives us that value is (x + 2) = 0 and solving that for x, we get x = -2. Same for the 5. The way we find the polynomial that gave us these zeros is to go backwards from the factors and FOIL them out. That means that we need to find the product of
(x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 5). Do the first 2 terms, then multiply in the third.
, which simplifies to
No we multiply in the final factor of (x - 5):
which simplifies to
If you are aware of the method for factoring higher degree polymomials, which is to use the Rational Root Theorem and synthetic division, you will see that this factors to x = -4, -2, 5. If you know how to use your calculator, you will find the same zeros in your solving polynomials function in your apps.
