Solution
We know the sum, sum of the product of the zeroes taken two at a time and the product of the zeroes of a cubic polynomial then the cubic polynomial can be found as `x^3` – (sum of the zeroes)`x^2` + (sum of the product of the zeroes taking two at a time)x – product of zeroes Therefore, the required polynomial is
`x^3 – 5x^2 – 2x + 24`

Annie was standing on a diving board, 48 feet above the water level. She took a dive into the pool. Her height (in feet) above the water level at any time ‘t’ in seconds is given by the polynomial h(t) such that h(t) = -16t2 + 8t + k.
