Hi there--
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You can write the polynomial in factored form since you know the roots.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If x=-3 is a root, then x+3=0 and x+3 is a factor of the polynomial.
\n" ); document.write( "If x=4 is a root, then x-4=0 and x-4 is a factor of the polynomial. Since this is a double root, there are two factors of (x-4).
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%28x%2B3%29%28x-4%29%28x-4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "We can also multiply this out.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28x%2B3%29%28x%5E2-8x%2B16%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=x%5E3-8x%5E2%2B16x%2B3x%5E2-24x%2B48\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=x%5E3-5x%5E2-8x%2B48\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
