Finding a polynomial of a given degree with given zeros: Real zeros
Find a polynomial of degree that has the following zeros.
(multiplicity ) ,
Leave your answer in factored form.
The Factor Theorem tells us the following.
A number is a zero of a polynomial if and only if is a factor of
We also get that, if is a zero of multiplicity then is a factor.
We're told that has the zeros shown below on the left.
The Factor Theorem gives the corresponding factors on the right.
Zero Factor
(multiplicity )
These factors give the following polynomial.
Since this polynomial has degree it is a possible answer. We are told that we can
leave it in factored form.
