A polynomial function has zeros at -1,2, and 7 (all multiplicity of 1). Write a function rule that could represent this function.

• $f\left(x\right)=\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)\left(x-7\right)$

• $f\left(x\right)=\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)\left(x+7\right)$

• $f\left(x\right)=\left(x+1\right)^2\left(x-2\right)^2\left(x-7\right)^2$

• $f\left(x\right)=\left(x-1\right)^2\left(x+2\right)^2\left(x+7\right)^2$
