Question

The polynomial of degree 5, P(x)P(x) has leading coefficient 1, has roots of multiplicity 2 at x=3x=3 and x=0x=0, and a root of multiplicity 1 at x=−1x=-1
Find a possible formula for P(x)P(x).

Expert Solution
Step 1

We know that if we multiply all the factors of p(x) together we will get a possible formula for p(x).

Root multiplicity means the number of times the root has been repeated.
