Starts with 3%28x%2B2%29%28x-2%29%5E4 and you finish the needed multiplications.

He's WRONG, so cross%283%28x+%2B+2%29%28x+-+4%29%5E4%29.

Try to come up with the correct factors, and then the polynomial function.

Construct a polynomial function with the following properties: fifth degree, 2 is a zero of multiplicity 4,
−2 is the only other zero, leading coefficient is 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


If you start from this expression,   y+=+%283%28x+%2B+2%29%28x+-+4%29%5E4%29,   that @josgarithmetic gave to you,
you will NEVER come to the right answer.
