Using the Zeros to find a polynomial - Online Tutor

The video tutorial explains how to determine a polynomial function given its zeros. It begins by discussing the concept of zeros and their significance as X intercepts on a graph. The tutorial then demonstrates how to express these zeros as linear factors and use them to factor the polynomial. The FOIL method is applied to expand the polynomial, and the final step involves combining terms to form the complete polynomial function. The process is illustrated with examples, emphasizing the importance of each step in finding the polynomial function.
