Identify the simplest polynomial function that has the given zeros
-2,4,5
P(x) = x³ - 7x² + 2x + 40
P(x) = x³ + 7x² - 2x - 40
P(x) = x³ - 7x² + 2x - 40
P(x) =x^3+7x² - 2x + 40

Answer:

is correct

x^3 -7x^2+2x +40

multiply the constants of the factors (each factor has opposite sign of the zero)

(x+2)(x-4)(x-5)   2(-4)(-5) = 40,  that eliminates all but c) and d)

(x+2)(x-4)(x-5) = (x^2-2x-8)(x-5)   by using FOIL on the 1st two factors

then (-8)(-5) = +40, eliminating a) and b), leaving only c) and d)

-5 times -2x = 10x,  x times -8 = -8x.   10x-8x = 2x which c) has but d) doesn't.
