Problem
The polynomial has the property that the mean of its zeros, the product of its zeros, and the sum of its coefficients are all equal. If the -intercept of the graph of is 2, what is ?
Solution
The sum and product of the zeros of are and , respectively. Therefore, Since is the -intercept of , it follows that . Thus and .
Final answer
-11
