Answer f (x) SHELBY Keypad Hide Submit Answer  
  
  Solution
3 is a zero of multiplicity 3
So we have (x-3)3
The other zero is -4 And the degree of the polynomial is 5. So the zero that is -4 must have a multiplicity of 2
So we get (x+4)2
And the leading coefficient is 3
Therefore required polynomial is
f(x)=3(x-3)3(x+2)2
f(x)= 3x5 -3x4 -87x3+135x2+648x-1296
