Write a polynomial function f of least degree that has rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and the given zero(s) -4,-2,5

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of the polynomial function are given us as -5,-1,2

If the zeros of a polynomial function are α,β,ω, the polynomial function can be obtained using the expression below:

f(x) = (x - α)(x - β)(x - ω)

where α = -5, β = -1, and ω = 2

NB: To arrive at the answer, expand the brackets and after expansion, collect like terms to obtain the final answer

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
