which polynomial function has xintercepts 10 and 2 and passe
which polynomial function has x-intercepts -1,0 and 2 and passes through the point (1,-6)?
Solution
Polynomial function with x intercept as x=-1 , x=0 , x=2 .These are the zeros of polynomial.
This is a third degree polynomial which can be expressed as: y= a (x+1)x(x-2) wher a is a constatn
Lets find a with the given point : ( 1, -6)
-6 = a( (1+1)(1)(1-2)
-6 = a( 2*1*-1)
-6 = a( -2)
a = 3
y = 3(x+1)x(x-2) is the Polynomial
Further expanded y= 3( x^2 +x)(x-2) = 3( x^3 -2x^2 +x^2 -2x)
y= 3(x^3 -x^2 -2x) = 3x^3 -3X^2 -6X
