### Polynomial Functions Exercises

#### Polynomial Equations

**29.** \( p(x) = x^4 + 4x^3 - x^2 + 16x - 20 \)

**30.** \( p(x) = x^4 - 6x^3 + 9x^2 - 24x + 20 \)

**31.** \( p(x) = 2x^4 + 9x^3 - 7x^2 - 9x + 5 \)

**32.** \( p(x) = 2x^4 + 7x^3 + x^2 - 7x - 3 \)

**33.** \( p(x) = 2x^4 - 5x^3 + 8x^2 - 15x + 6 \)

**34.** \( p(x) = 2x^4 - x^3 + 5x^2 - 3x - 3 \)

#### Exercise Instructions

**In Exercises 35–40, find an expression for a polynomial \( p(x) \) with real coefficients satisfying the given conditions. There may be more than one possible answer.**

**35.** Degree 2; \( x = 2 \) and \( x = -1 \) are zeros.

**36.** Degree 2; \( x = \frac{1}{2} \) and \( x = \frac{3}{4} \) are zeros.

**37.** Degree 3; \( x = 1 \) is a zero of multiplicity 2 and the origin is the \( y \)-intercept.

**38.** Degree 3; \( x = -2 \) is a zero of multiplicity 2 and the origin is an \( x \)-intercept.

**39.** Degree 4; \( x = 1 \) and \( x = \frac{1}{3} \) are both zeros of multiplicity 2.

**40.** Degree 4; \( x = -1 \) and \( x = -3 \) are zeros of multiplicity 1 and \( x = \frac{1}{3} \) is a zero of multiplicity 2.
