Question 567287: I need help writing a polynomial function with rational coefficients in standard form with the given zeros 2,3,5. Answer by htmentor(1343) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I need help writing a polynomial function with rational coefficients in standard form with the given zeros 2,3,5.
=====================
Since the zeros are 2,3,5 we can write the factored equation as
(x-2)(x-3)(x-5)
Multiplying the factors and collecting terms gives:
x^3-10x^2+31x-30
As a check, we can see read off the zeros from graph of the function:
