Considerthepolynomialfunctions 𝑝 𝑥 = 𝑥 − 2 𝑥 + 3 !

𝑞 𝑥 = 𝑥 − 2 ! 𝑥 + 3 !

and𝑟 𝑥 = 𝑥 − 2 ! 𝑥 − 3 !

Whatdoyounoticeaboutthethezerosofthefunctionsandthedegreeofthefunction?

Ifwewriteoutallofthefactorsfor𝑝,𝑞,and𝑟, weseethat

𝑝 𝑥 = 𝑥 − 2 𝑥 + 3 𝑥 + 3 𝑞 𝑥 = 𝑥 − 2 𝑥 − 2 𝑥 + 3 (𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 + 3) 𝑟 𝑥 = (𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 + 3).
