Write a 4th degree polynomial function with:
*a positive leading coefficient
*zeros: 9, 3, -2, 0

• y = x(x - 9)(x - 3)(x + 2)
• y = x(x + 9)(x + 3)(x - 2)
• y = -x(x - 9)(x - 3)(x + 2)
• y = -x(x + 9)(x + 3)(x - 2)

• y = x(x - 3)(x - 2)
• y = x(x - 3)² (x+2)
• y = x(x + 3)² (x - 2)
• y = -x(x + 3)² (x - 2)
