Which second degree polynomial function f(x) has a lead coefficient of 3 and roots 4 and 1?


Asked by maham237 @ in Mathematics viewed by 434 People


f(x) = 3x2 + 5x + 4
f(x) = 3x2 + 15x + 12
f(x) = 3x2 – 5x + 4
f(x) = 3x2 – 15x + 12

Answered by maham237 @



For this case we have that the following function complies with the given conditions:


 f (x) = 3x ^ 2 - 15x + 12

To prove it, let's find the roots of the polynomial:


 3x ^ 2 - 15x + 12 = 0

By doing common factor 3 we have:

 3 (x ^ 2 - 5x + 4) = 0

Factoring the second degree polynomial we have:

 3 (x-1) (x-4) = 0

Then, the solutions are:

Solution 1:

 x-1 = 0\\x = 1

Solution 2:

 x-4 = 0\\x = 4

Answer:

A second degree polynomial function f (x) that has a lead coefficient of 3 and roots 4 and 1 is:

 f (x) = 3x ^ 2 - 15x + 12
