To find the polynomial in standard form given the zeros x = 2, x = -3, and x = 1, we will start with the factored form and expand it.
Given Zeros:
1.x = 2 corresponds to the factor (x - 2)
2.x = -3 corresponds to the factor (x + 3)
3.x = 1 corresponds to the factor (x - 1)
Polynomial in Factored Form:
The polynomial can be expressed as:
f(x) = (x - 2)(x + 3)(x - 1)
Expanding the Polynomial:
First, expand (x - 2)(x + 3):
Now, multiply this result by (x - 1):
