Find a polynomial function of degree 3 with the given numbers as zeros. $-?\frac{1}{2}, 0, 5$ Choose the correct polynomial. A. $f(x) = x^2 + \frac{9}{2}x + \frac{5}{2}$ C. $f(x) = x^3 + \frac{9}{2}x^2 + \frac{5}{2}x$ B. $f(x) = x^2 - \frac{9}{2}x - \frac{5}{2}$ D. $f(x) = x^3 - \frac{9}{2}x^2 - \frac{5}{2}x$
