Answer:
f(x) = x² - 5x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a root of a polynomial x = a then the factor is (x - a)
Here the roots are x = 3 and x = 2 , thus the corresponding factors are
(x - 3) and (x - 2)
The polynomial is then the product of the factors, that is
f(x) = (x - 3)(x - 2) ← expand using FOIL
= x² - 5x + 6
Since this polynomial has answers 3 and 2, we can set up the equation (x-3)(x-2) = 0
That’s already our answer, but if you want it in standard form, We can use FOIL to multiply the 2 expressions:
(x-3)(x-2)
=x^2-3x-2x+6
=x^2-5x+6
