To find the polynomial in standard form given the zeros (x = -1) (with multiplicity 2), (x = 3), and (x = 0), let's derive it step by step.
Given Zeros:
1.Zero: (x = -1) (multiplicity 2) corresponds to the factor
2.Zero: (x = 3) corresponds to the factor (x - 3)
3.Zero: (x = 0) corresponds to the factor (x)
Polynomial in Factored Form:
The polynomial can be expressed as:
Expanding the Polynomial:
Expand :
Now multiply this result by (x - 3):
Using the distributive property:
