Which is the polynomial function of lowest degree with leading coefficient of 4 and roots 7 and 3?
O f(x)= x2 – 3x-+3-17
O f(x)= 4x² -1245x+3/7
O f(x)=x2 – 3x? – X+21
O x) = 4x° - 12x - 28x+84

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the roots are 7 and 3, then x = 7 and x = 3 are solutions. In factor form, x = 7 is (x - 7); in factor form, x = 3 is (x - 3). We FOIL these together to get

[tex]x^2-3x-7x+21[/tex] which simplifies to

[tex]x^2-10x+21[/tex] and we distribute in the 4:

[tex]4(x^2-10x+21)[/tex] to get

[tex]4x^2-40x+84[/tex] which is another way to write the last choice you're given.
