Explanation:

Set up the factored form of the polynomial

$$ f(x) = 1 \cdot (x - (-1))(x - 1)(x - 8) = (x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 8) $$

Expand the linear factors

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Distribute to find the final polynomial expression

$$ f(x) = x^3 - 8x^2 - x + 8 $$

Answer:

Form a polynomial whose zeros and degree are given.

Zeros: \(-1, 1, 8\); degree: 3

A polynomial with integer coefficients and a leading coefficient of 1 is \(f(x) =\) <blank>\(x^3 - 8x^2 - x + 8\)</blank>. (Simplify your answer.)
