Find the polynomial function of degree 3 with the given numbers as zeros: \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 - SqRt(3),
\n" ); document.write( "1 + SqRt(3),
\n" ); document.write( "-2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The given 0,s also represent 3 factors of the function:
\n" ); document.write( "The last one, -2 is (x+2), right?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Regarding the other two, think of the doing completing the square in reverese:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1 - SqRt(3)
\n" ); document.write( "x - 1 = -Sqrt(3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "(x-1)^2 = -SqRt(3)* -SqRt(3), same as squaring +SqRt(3)
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x + 1 = 3
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x + 1 - 3 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x - 2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Mult the two factors:
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)* (x^2 - 2x - 2) = (x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x + 4) is the function with the given 0's
