Question 1137581: The polynomial of degree 3, P(x) has a root of multiplicity 2 at x=2 and a root of multiplicity 1 at x=−5.The y-intercept is y=−8 Find a formula for P(x).
If a polynomial f(x)has a remainder of −6 when divided by x−3, what is f(3)? Found 2 solutions by josgarithmetic, greenestamps:Answer by josgarithmetic(39621) (Show Source):
The polynomial of degree 3, P(x) has a root of multiplicity 2 at x=2 and a root of multiplicity 1 at x=−5.The y-intercept is y=−8 Find a formula for P(x).
The polynomial in factored form is
To find the coefficient a, use the fact that the y-intercept is -8 -- i.e., that f(0) = -8:
