Question

Find a cubic polynomial whose zeroes are `1/2, 1 and -3.` 

 

Advertisements

Solution

If the zeroes of the cubic polynomial are a, b and c then the cubic polynomial can be found as  

`x^3 – (a + b + c)x^2 + (ab + bc + ca)x – abc`              .............(1) 

Let a = `1/2, b=14 and c=-3` 
Substituting the values in (1), we get 

`x^3-(1/2+1-3)x^2+(1/2-3-3/2)x-(-3/2)` 

⇒ `x^3-(-3/2)x^2-4x+3/2` 

`⇒ 2x^3+3x^2-8x+3`
