Write an equation for the cubic polynomial function shown. To find the equation of the function, first find the rangedomain✔ zeroes of the graph.
What are the zeroes of the function?
To solve for the leading coefficient, use a = –5(0 – 2)(0 – 3)(0 – 5) a = 5(0 – 2)(0 – 3)(0 – 5) 5 = a(0 – 2)(0 – 3)(0 – 5)✔ –5 = a(0 – 2)(0 – 3)(0 – 5).
The equation of the polynomial function is:




Write an equation for the cubic polynomial function whose graph has zeroes at 2, 3, and 5. Write the polynomial function for the graph.f(x) = (x – 2)(x – 3)(x – 5)Simplify the right side. What is the equation?
The linear factors of the cubic are ✔ (x – 2)(x – 3)(x – 5)(x – 2)(x – 3)(x – 5)(x + 5)(x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 5)(x + 2)(x + 3)(x – 5).
The equation of the polynomial function is:




The equation of the polynomial function is:
f(x) = x4 − [___]x3 + [___]x2 + [___]x − [___]

f(x) = x3 − [___]x2 + [___]x − [___]
Write an equation for the cubic polynomial function whose graph has zeroes at 2, 3, and 5. [image 1] Can any of the roots have multiplicity? [image 2] How can you find a function that has these roots?

One such function is f(x) = (x − 2)(x − 3)(x − 5) = x³ − 10x² + 31x − 30. None of the roots can have multiplicity greater than 1 because the three distinct roots already account for the cubic’s degree. Write each root as a linear factor and multiply the factors.
