14. Find a polynomial of degree 3 whose zeros are -4, -2, and 3.
If you “plug in” -4, -2, or 3 for X in the above parenthesis you get ZERO.

15. For the polynomial, list all zeros and their multiplicities.
2 is a zero of multiplicity 1 because the exponent on the factor x – 2 is 1.
–1 is a zero of multiplicity 3 because the exponent on the factor x + 1 is 3.
3 is a zero of multiplicity 4 because the exponent on the factor x – 3 is 4.
