Question 247328
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


If a number *[tex \Large a] is a zero of a polynomial, then the binomial *[tex \Large x\ -\ a] is a factor of the polynomial.  The simplest polynomial function with the given zeros is the polynomial function with the three factors that correspond to the three given zeros.  Since there are three zeros, the polynomial function must be of the third degree.
