Write a polynomial function with the rational coefficients in standard form with the give zeros. x = 1, 2, 3/5 x = -2, 0, radical 3 im studying for a big test tomorrow and need help with this question. what is a polynomial function?
A polynomial is just any expression made up only of addition, subtraction and multiplication (thankfully, it's just the name that sounds complicated). Although you're 'allowed' fractions I suppose, so x/2 would still be polynomial as it would be equivalent to 1/2*x. What you are looking for is something that typically looks like this: a + bx + cx^2 + dx^3... where a, b, c, & d are coefficients of your variable, x - their respective powers being 0, 1, 2 & 3. But I'm afraid I don't really understand your question 100%, is the version you typed, exactly the one that you have on paper?
