Question 671876: What is a cubic polynomial function in standard form with zeros 1, –2, and 2?
Which one out of the following,
1) function= x3 + x2 – 3x + 4
2) function= x3 + x2 – 4x – 2
3) function= x3 + x2 + 4x + 4
4) function= x3 – x2 – 4x + 4
PLEASE HELP!

x = 1, x = -2 or x = 2

x - 1 = 0, x + 2 = 0 or x - 2 = 0

(x - 1)(x + 2)(x - 2) = 0

(x - 1)(x^2 - 4) = 0

x(x^2 - 4) - 1(x^2 - 4) = 0

x^3 - 4x - x^2 + 4 = 0

x^3 - x^2 - 4x + 4 = 0

So the function is f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 4x + 4, which is choice 4)
