- Find the quartic (fourth-degree) polynomial function f with real coefficients that has 1,2and2i, as zeros, and f(1)=10.arrow_forwardWrite a fourth degree polynomial function with real coefficients and the given zeros. i,1iarrow_forwardFor the following exercises, use the Intermediate Value Theorem to confirm that the given polynomial has at least one zero within the given interval. f(x)=2x3x, between x=1 and x=1.arrow_forward
- (a) Give the general form of polynomial function P of degree n. (b) What does it mean to say that c is a zero of P? Give two equivalent conditions that tell us that c is a zero of P.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements couldn't possibly be true about the polynomial function P? (a) P has degree 3, two local maxima, and two local minima. (b) P has degree 3 and no local maxima or minima. (c) P has degree 4, one local maximum, and no local minima.arrow_forwardUse synthetic division to show that x=3 is a zero of the function f(x)=2x35x26x+15. Use the result to factor the polynomial function completely and list all the zeros of the function.arrow_forward
