Question

Which polynomial function has a leading coefficient of 2, root –4 with multiplicity 3, and root 10 with multiplicity 1?
f(x) = 2(x – 4)(x – 4)(x – 4)(x + 10)
f(x) = 2(x + 4)(x + 4)(x + 4)(x – 10)
f(x) = 3(x – 4)(x – 4)(x + 10)
f(x) = 3(x + 4)(x + 4)(x – 10)

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

f(x) = 2(x – 4)(x – 4)(x – 4)(x + 10)
