Question

Write a polynomial equation in standard form with the following zeros

4,9

Answer 1

y = x² - 13x + 36

Explanation:

Given the zeros x = 4 and x = 9, then the corresponding factors are

(x - 4) and (x - 9)

The polynomial is then the product of the factors

y = (x - 4)(x - 9) ← expand using FOIL

y = x² - 13x + 36
