Creating Polynomial Functions In Exercises 87-90, find a polynomial function
that has only the specified extrema, (a) Determine the minimum degree of the function and give the criteria you used in determining the degree. (b) Using the fact that the coordinates of the extrema are solution points of the function, and that the x-coordinates are critical numbers, determine a system of linear equations whose solution yields the coefficients of the required function. (c) Use a graphing utility to solve the system of equations and determine the function. (d) Use a graphing utility to confirm your result graphically.
Relative minimum: (1, 2); Relative

- Finding the Zeros of a Polynomial Function In Exercises 73-78, find all the zeros of the function. When there is an extended list of possible rational zeros, use a graphing utility to graph the function in order to disregard any of the possible rational zeros that are obviously not zeros of the function. fs=2s35s2+12s5arrow_forwardFinding 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)=13x2+13x23arrow_forward
