Question 1172359: I need help asap with the following question on my math hw:
Write a polynomial function f of least degree that has rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and the given zeros.

(x-1), (x-2) and (x-5) are the factors.
(x^2-3x+2)(x-5)=x^3-5x^2-3x^2+15x+2x-10
=x^3-8x^2+17x-10
