Question

A polynomial has zeroes at -5, 3, 2. Write the three linear factors associated with these zeroes.

A) (x + 5), (x - 3), (x - 2)
B) (x - 5), (x + 3), (x + 2)
C) (x - 5), (x - 3), (x - 2)
D) (x + 5), (x + 3), (x + 2)

Answer 1

The three linear factors associated with the zeroes -5, 3, and 2 are (x + 5), (x - 3), and (x - 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the three linear factors associated with the zeroes -5, 3, and 2, we use the form (x - a), where 'a' is the zero. So the linear factors are:

• (x - (-5)) = (x + 5)
• (x - 3)
• (x - 2)

Therefore, the correct answer is option A) (x + 5), (x - 3), (x - 2).
