Help Me, please.
Writing Equations: Find the polynomial function that has the following "zeros". Express the answer without fractions.
1/3,4,3
f(x)=
(x - 1/3) ( x - 4) ( x - 3) =
(x - 1/3) ( x^2 - 7x + 12) = { distribute the terms in the first set of parentheses over the terms in the second }
x (x^2 - 7x + 12) - (1/3) ( x^2 - 7x + 12) =
x^3 - 7x^2 + 12x - (1/3)x^2 + (7/3) x - 4 combine like terms
x^3 + ( -7 - 1/3)x^2 + (12 + 7/3)x - 4
x^3 + ( -21/3 - 1/3)x^2 + (36/3 + 7/3)x - 4
x^3 + ( -22/3)x^2 + ( 43/3)x - 4
x^3 - (22/3)x^2 + (43/3)x - 4
Check my math, Manuel....I did this one rather hurriedly.....LOL!!!
