Question

Find a cubic polynomial whose zeroes are 2, -3 and 4

✓

Answer

If the zeroes of the cubic polynomial are a, b and c then the cubic polynomial can be found as:
$x^3- (a + b + c)x^2 + (ab + bc + ca)x - abc ...(1)$
Let a = 2, b = -3 and c = 4
Substituting the values in (1), we get
$x^3 - (2 - 3 + 4)x^2 + (-6 - 12 + 8)x - (-24)$
$\Rightarrow x^3 - 3x^2 - 10x + 24$
