Write a polynomial of least degree with roots 2 and – 7

x^2+5x-14

Step-by-step explanation:

2 and -7 are the roots of the polynomial then we have to write them as

 x=2 ,x=-7

To convert these as factors, we have to write them as

(  x-2) (x+7)

The product of those factors will give the polynomial. Because we have two factors, we will get a quadratic polynomial.

x^2+7x-2x-14

x^2+5x-14

Number of factors  =  Highest exponent of the polynomial

y = x² + 5x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given roots x = a, x = b, then the corresponding factors are

(x - a) and (x - b) and the polynomial is the product of the factors

y = (x - a)(x - b)

Here the roots are x = 2 and x = - 7, then the factors are

(x - 2) and (x - (- 7)) = (x + 7), so

y = (x - 2)(x + 7) ← expand using FOIL

y = x² + 5x - 14

$12. that is my answer.

(1, –1), (16, –4), (36, –6)

step-by-step explanation:

given that the function is

this can also be written as

we have to graph this function and check which list of points lie on the graph

see attachment for graph:

we find that the points lying are (1,-1) (16,-4) and (36,-6)

since square root is there we find that x can only be posiitve but y can be since square root both positive and negative.
