The function f, of, xf(x) is a quartic function and the zeros of f, of, xf(x) are minus, 4−4, minus, 3−3, 11 and 22. Assume the leading coefficient of f, of, xf(x) is 11. Write the equation of the quartic polynomial in standard form.



Answer :

To write the equation of the quartic polynomial f(x)f(x) in standard form given its zeros, we'll use the factored form of the polynomial and then expand it.

The zeros given are −4,−3,11,−4,−3,11, and 2222. Since f(x)f(x) is a quartic function, we have:

f(x)=a(x+4)(x+3)(x−11)(x−22)f(x)=a(x+4)(x+3)(x−11)(x−22)

Given that the leading coefficient of f(x)f(x) is 1111, we substitute this value for aa:

f(x)=11(x+4)(x+3)(x−11)(x−22)f(x)=11(x+4)(x+3)(x−11)(x−22)

Expanding this expression, we get:

f(x)=11(x2+7x+12)(x2−33x+242)f(x)=11(x2+7x+12)(x2−33x+242)

f(x)=11(x4−33x3+242x2+7x3−231x2+1694x+12x2−396x+2904)f(x)=11(x4−33x3+242x2+7x3−231x2+1694x+12x2−396x+2904)

f(x)=11x4−363x3+2662x2+77x3−8085x2+18634x+132x2−4356x+31944f(x)=11x4−363x3+2662x2+77x3−8085x2+18634x+132x2−4356x+31944

f(x)=11x4−286x3−5409x2+14278x+31944f(x)=11x4−286x3−5409x2+14278x+31944

So, the equation of the quartic polynomial f(x)f(x) in standard form is:

f(x)=11x4−286x3−5409x2+14278x+31944f(x)=11x4−286x3−5409x2+14278x+31944​

Answer: f (x) = 11 (x + 4) (x + 3)(x - 11)  ( x - 22)
