Q3 Mathematical Methods Polynomial Function Graphs Unit 4 - AOS 1

Question 3

5 marks

Consider a quartic polynomial function $p(x)$ with the following properties:

  • $p(x)$ has a double root at $x = -1$.
  • $p(x)$ has roots at $x = 2$ and $x = 4$.
  • $p(0) = -8$.

Determine the equation of the polynomial $p(x)$ and explain how each given property was used to arrive at the final equation.
