is a zero of a polynomial, then

is a factor of the polynomial. If the polynomial is of degree

, then it has

linear factors. When you multiply your three linear factors you will get a polynomial of the form

. Almost there. However, for any given set of coefficients

, all polynomials

have the same zeros. You just need to find the right value of

so that the lead coefficient is 2.\r
