Question

Write a polynomial function of least degree that has rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and the given zeros. Put your answer in standard form. -3,5,-2i

Answer 1

To form a polynomial function with the given zeroes, make a factor for each zero being subtracted from x, and multiply them together.

-3: (x- (-3))

5: (x - 5)

-2i: (x - (-2i))

You should get the polynomial after multiplying all these factors together.
