To determine The polynomial P ( x ) of degree 3 with real coefficients having zeros − 2 , 1 and 0 such that it satisfies the condition P ( − 1 ) = − 1 . Explanation Given: The value of P ( − 1 ) is − 1 and the zeros of the polynomial P ( x ) are − 2 , 1 and 0. Theorem used: Factor theorem: If a polynomial P ( x ) has a zero k then the factor of that polynomial is ( x − k ) . Calculation: The polynomial P ( x ) have three zeroes − 2 , 1 and 0 then by the factor theorem the linear factors of the polynomial are ( x − ( − 2 ) ) , ( x − 1 ) and ( x − 0 ) . Therefore, the polynomial is written as P ( x ) = ( x − ( − 2 ) ) ( x − 1 ) ( x − 0 ) . Simplify the above polynomial by distributive property. P ( x ) = ( x − ( − 2 ) ) ( x − 1 ) ( x − 0 ) = x ( x + 2 ) ( x − 1 ) Simplify the above obtained polynomial expression as follows. P ( x ) = x ( x + 2 ) ( x − 1 ) = ( x 2 + 2 x ) ( x − 1 ) = x 3 + x 2 − 2 x Therefore, the value of polynomial P ( x ) is x 3 + x 2 − 2 x . Multiply the above polynomial by any real non-zero constant a to obtain the expression as shown below: P ( x ) = a ( x 3 + x 2 − 2 x )
