Creating Polynomial Equations

Find the equation of a polynomial with roots 3, -2, and 5.

• (x - 3)(x - 2)(x - 5)

• (x + 3)(x - 2)(x - 5)

• (x - 3)(x + 2)(x - 5)

• (x - 3)(x + 2)(x + 5)

John and Emily are planning to prepare two types of cookies for a local charity event. The first cookie recipe requires ingredients costing (2x² + 5x - 7) dollars, and the second cookie recipe requires ingredients costing (3 - 4x² + 6x) dollars. How much will the ingredients for both cookie types cost in total?

• 2x² + 3x +1

• -2x² - 11x -4

• 2x² + 5x -7

• -2x² + 11x -4

Solve x⁴ - 256 = 0

• x = 4, x = - 4

• x = 4, x = 4i

• x = 4, x -4, x = 4i

• x = 4, x -4, x = 4i,         x = -4i
