Learn how to write the equation of a polynomial in standard form given zeros

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations by setting zeros equal to X and using the zero product property. It covers transforming equations to find functions and applying multiplication techniques like the box method and foil. The tutorial concludes with the final equation and addresses any questions.

What is the first step in solving a problem where you need to set zeros equal to X?

• Subtract three from each side

• Add five to each side

• Set each zero equal to X

• Multiply all terms by zero

How can you rewrite factors set to zero using the zero product property?

• By dividing them by zero

• By multiplying them together

• By setting them equal to Y

• By adding them together

What is the purpose of setting the equation equal to Y?

• To simplify the expression

• To find the value of X

• To eliminate the variable

• To determine the function or equation

Which method can be used to multiply the factors to form the polynomial equation?

• Zero product property

• Box method or FOIL

• Subtraction method

• Division method

What is the final polynomial equation obtained in the tutorial?

• y = X^4 - 2X^3 - 15X^2

• y = X^3 - 2X^2 - 15X

• y = X^5 - 2X^4 - 15X^3

• y = X^2 - 2X - 15
