Give equations for 3 different polynomial functions with zeros at -8, 2/3, 5/2.

Answer 1

To make a polynomial function have a zero at a specific x-value, you can do this:

y = ( x - b )

where b is the value at which you would like y to equal zero.

Three different equations with this could be:

`y = (x+8)(x-(2)/(3))(x-(5)/(2) )\\\\y = (x+4)(x+8)(x-(2)/(3))(x-(5)/(2) )\\\\y = (x-4)(x+8)(x-(2)/(3))(x-(5)/(2) )`
