Question 1058359: What is the standard form with the given zeros 5, -3, -2
Answer by solve_for_x(190)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since the zeros are 5, -3 and -2, the factors of the polynomial are:
(x - 5), (x + 3), and (x + 2)
Setting the function equal to the product of the factors gives you:
f(x) = (x - 5)(x + 3)(x + 2)
f(x) = (x - 5)(x^2 + 5x + 6)
f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x - 5x^2 - 25x - 30
f(x) = x^3 - 19x - 30
