Open QuestionUse the factor theorem and synthetic division to determine whether the second polynomial is a factor of the first. See Example 1. 2x^4+5x^3-2x^2+5x+6; x+3
Open QuestionFind a polynomial function ƒ(x) of least degree with real coefficients having zeros as given. √3, -√3, 2, 3
Open QuestionFind a polynomial function ƒ(x) of least degree with real coefficients having zeros as given. -2+√5, -2-√5, -2, 1
Open QuestionIn Exercises 25–32, find an nth-degree polynomial function with real coefficients satisfying the given conditions. If you are using a graphing utility, use it to graph the function and verify the real zeros and the given function value. n=4; i and 3i are zeros; f(-1) = 20
Open QuestionFactor ƒ(x) into linear factors given that k is a zero. See Example 2. ƒ(x)=x^4+2x^3-7x^2-20x-12; k=-2 (multiplicity 2)
