- In Exercises 53-62, find a polynomial function that has the given zeros. (There are many correct answers.) 0,2,4arrow_forwardApproximating Zeros In Exercises 71-76, (a) use the zero or root feature of a graphing utility to approximate the zeros of the function accurate to three decimal places, (b) determine the exact value of one of the zeros, and (c) use synthetic division to verify your result from part (b), and then factor the polynomial completely. h(t)=t32t27t+2arrow_forwardIn Exercises 2-6, fill in the blanks. The Theorem states that if a polynomial f(x)is divided by xk,then the remainder is r=f(k).arrow_forward
- Finding Real Zeros of a Polynomial Function In Exercises 33-48, (a) find all real zeros of the polynomial function, (b) determine whether the multiplicity of each zero is even or odd, (c) determine the maximum possible number of turning points of the graph of the function, and (d) use a graphing utility to graph the function and verify your answers. f(x)=12x2+52x32arrow_forwardIn Exercises 2-6, fill in the blanks. The Theorem states that a polynomial f(x)has a factor (xk)if and only if f(k)=0.arrow_forward
