Question

write the equation of the polynomials in factored form that has the following zeros: -8, -4, 5, 5, 2

Answer 1

Answer: (x+8)(x+4)(x-5)^2(x-2)

Explanation:

When finding a zero, you set the equation equal to 0 then solve.

For example, x+8=0
You would isolate x by subtracting both sides by 8 and get x=-8. This mean that the root or zero is -8. When there are two zeros that are the same, you just square the equation.
