Answer:

[tex]x=5[/tex]  ⇒  [tex](x-5)=0[/tex]

[tex]x=-1[/tex]  ⇒[tex](x+1)=0[/tex]

[tex]x=-1/4[/tex] ⇒ [tex](x+1/4)=0[/tex] ⇒ [tex](4x+1)=0[/tex]

[tex]p(x)=(x-5)(x+1)(4x+1)=0[/tex]

Answer:

p(x) =  (x-5) (x+1)(4x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the equation for a polynomial with zeros is written as

f(x) = a( x-b1) (x-b2)...... where b are the zeros

We have zeros x = 5, x = -1, and x = -1/4

p(x) = a( x-5) (x- -1) (x - -1/4)

p(x) = a (x-5) (x+1) (x+1/4)

Let a = 4

p(x) = 4 (x-5) (x+1) (x+1/4)

p(x) =  (x-5) (x+1)(4x+1)
