Answer to Problem 86RE
Therefore, the complex zeros of
The factored form of
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
Step 1: Determine the number of complex zeros.
Since the degree of the given polynomial is $4,$ the function will have 4 complex zeros.
Step 2: Apply the Descartes' Rule of Signs to determine the number of positive and negativereal zeros. There are three variations in the sign of the coefficients of
Step 3: Use the rational zeros theorem to find the possible potential rational zeros. The possible potential rational zeros of the given function are
Use the synthetic division to test whether 2 is a zero of the given function.
Since
Step 4: Determine the remaining zeros. Factor the depressed equation by grouping.
Factor
Factor out the common term
Apply the zero-product property.
Therefore, the complex zeros of
By the factor theorem, if
Write
The factored form of
Conclusion:
Therefore, the complex zeros of
The factored form of
