Question 1028848
.
Find a 3rd degree polynomial with roots 6 and -i with constant coefficient -24.

A. f(x)=4x^3-24x^2+24x-24
B. f(x)=4x^3-24x^2+4x-24
C. f(x)=x^3-6x^2+x-24
D. f(x)=-4x^3+24x^2+4x-24
E. None of the above
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Under the given conditions, the roots of the polynomial should be 6, +i and -i.

Let us check the polynomial B.

f(x) = {{{4x^3-24x^2+4x-24}}} = {{{(4x^3 -24x^2)}}} + {{{(4x-24)}}} = 

= {{{4x^2*(x-6)}}} + {{{4*(x-6)}}} = {{{4*(x^2+1)*(x-6)}}}.

Now you can see that this factored polynomial satisfies to the given condition.

So, the option B is good.

For the polynomials A) and C) the number 6 is not the root.

For the polynomial  D)        the number i is not the root.

So, the answer is the only option B.
