Using the Factor Theorem, which of the polynomial functions has the zeros 2, radical 3 , and negative radical 3 ?

f(x)= x3 - 2x2 - 3x + 6
f(x)= x3 - 2x2 + 3x + 6
f(x)= x3 + 2x2 - 3x + 6
f(x)= x3 + 2x2 - 3x - 6

Respuesta :

Using the factor theorem, it is found that the polynomial is:

[tex]f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 3x + 6[/tex]

Given by the first option

---------------------------

Given a polynomial f(x), this polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{n}[/tex] using the factor theorem it can be written as: [tex]a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})*...*(x-x_n)[/tex], in which a is the leading coefficient.

---------------------------

In this question:

  • [tex]x_1 = 2[/tex]
  • [tex]x_2 = \sqrt{3}[/tex]
  • [tex]x_3 = -\sqrt{3}[/tex]
  • By the options, leading coefficient [tex]a = 1[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]f(x) = (x - 2)(x - \sqrt{3})(x + \sqrt{3})[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = (x - 2)(x^2 - 3)[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 - 3x + 6[/tex]

Which is the polynomial.
