Question 4. Select from the following which is the polynomial function that has the given zeroes.
2,-6
f(x) = x2 - 4x + 12
f(x) = x2 + 4x + 12
f(x) = -x2 -4x - 12
f(x) = -x2 + 4x - 12
f(x) = x2 + 4x - 12
Question 5. Select from the following which is the polynomial function that has the given zeroes.
