A monic polynomial f(x)f(x) has zeros at x=0x = 0 (multiplicity 2) and x=3x = 3 (multiplicity 1). Which expression represents f(x)f(x)?

  • A

    (x3)(x2+3)(x - 3)(x^2 + 3)

  • B

    x(x3)2x(x - 3)^2

  • C

    x2(x3)x^2(x - 3)

    check_circle
  • D

    x33x^3 - 3

Explanation

Monic with given zeros: f(x)=x2(x3)f(x) = x^2(x - 3).
