Question 765963: Find a ploynomial function of degree 4 with -2 as a zero of multiplicity 1, 3 as a zero of multiplicity 2, and -1 as a zero of multiplicity 1.
This is what I have so far (x-(-2))(x-3)^2(x-(-1))
= (x+2)(x-3)^2(x+1)

That's exactly the polynomial you're looking for! Maybe you are supposed to work it out, like


But the answer you gave is exactly the right way to solve this problem.
