Answer by htmentor(1343) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is a cubic polynomial function in standard form with zeros 4, 2, and 4?
=====================
Zeros at 4, 4 and 2 means the function can be factored as:
(x-2)(x-4)^2 = 0
Multiply and collect terms
(x-2)(x^2 - 8x + 16) -> x^3 - 8x^2 + 16x - 2x^2 + 16x - 32 -> x^3 - 10x^2 + 32x - 32
So the function in standard form is
x^3 - 10x^2 + 32x - 32
The graph is below:
