Polynomial Functions and Their Properties

The video tutorial explains how to find a polynomial equation with given real zeros. It covers the concept of zeros or roots of a polynomial and their relation to factors. The tutorial demonstrates constructing a polynomial by multiplying binomials and combining like terms. Finally, it verifies the polynomial by graphing and checking the x-intercepts.

What are the zeros of the polynomial function discussed in the video?

• -4, -1, 3

• -3, 1, 4

• -4, 1, -3

• 3, -1, 4

What is the relationship between the zeros of a polynomial and its factors?

• Zeros are unrelated to factors

• Zeros determine the factors

• Factors are the sum of zeros

• Factors are the product of zeros

What is the significance of the constant 'A' in a polynomial function?

• It changes the degree of the polynomial

• It affects the zeros of the function

• It can be any constant and does not affect the zeros

• It must always be zero

How do complex zeros appear in polynomial functions?

• As single numbers

• In conjugate pairs

• As real numbers

• As imaginary numbers only

What is the first step in constructing a polynomial function from given zeros?
