Question

Write a possible polynomial function in factored form with roots 0, -2, and 7. Group of answer choices
f(x)=(x+1)(x+2)(x−7)
f(x)=x(x+2)(x−7)
f(x)=x(x−2)(x+7)
f(x)=(x+2)(x−7)

Answer 1

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x = a is a root of a polynomial function then (x - a) is a factor

Given roots are x = 0, x = - 2, x = 7 , then corresponding factors are

(x - 0) , (x - (- 2) ) , (x - 7) , that is

x , (x + 2) , (x - 7)

The polynomial function f(x) is then the product of the factors, so

f(x) = x(x + 2)(x - 7)
