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?

Answer:

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.

15

Which of the following did you include in your explanation?

A
The roots cannot have multiplicity because the function is specified as cubic and 3 roots are given.
B
To find the function, write f(x) = (x – 2)(x – 3)(x – 5), and simplify the right side.

Suppose the graph of a cubic polynomial function has the same zeroes and passes through the coordinate (0, –5).Describe the steps for writing the equation of this cubic polynomial function.

Answer:

Use the zeroes to determine the roots. Write the polynomial as a product of the leading coefficient, a, and the factors, where each factor is x minus a root. Use the y-intercept (0, –5) to solve for the leading coefficient. Substitute the leading coefficient into the polynomial function for a and simplify.
