Answer:

Given the zeros of a polynomial, you can very easily write it -- first in its factored form and then in the standard form. Subtract the first zero from x and enclose it in parentheses. This is the first factor. For example if a polynomial has a zero that is -1, the corresponding factor is x - (-1) = x + 1.
