Write a polynomial function of least degree and leading coefficient 1 that has the given roots.
1. 3, 2 + √6

2. 4, 7i

3. √11, 1/4

To find to polynomial from zeros.

Find the factors. If it is a positive zero, the factor will be (x- zero) If it is a negative zero if is (x+zero)

Multiply the factors together.

Zeros of -4, -2, 5 would be:

Find the factors: (x+4)(x+2)(x-5)

Multiply the factors together: Will start out with FOIL for (x+4)(x+2) = x2+2x+4x+8 Combine like terms. Then multiply by the last factor

(x2+6x+8)(x-5) using the distributive property

x3+6x2+8x-5x2-30x-40 Combine like terms

x3+x2-22x-40

For the next one, the factors are a bit more complicated because of the radical. With a radical, you will also have to have a factor with the conjugate (Same term opposite sign)

4, 6, negative square root of 7

Factors would be: (x-4)(x-6)(x-√7)(x+√7) You can FOIL the first 2 factors and the last 2, then multiply them together using the distributive property.

answer: y = -12x + 108

step-by-step explanation: do (y = m x+b) formula.

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
