Step 1:
\The equation is .
Identify Rational Zeros
\Usually it is not practical to test all possible zeros of a polynomial function using only synthetic substitution. The Rational Zero Theorem can be used for finding the some possible zeros to test.
\The equation is
\
If is a rational zero, then
is a factor of 8 and
is a factor of 4.
The possible values of are
.
The possible values for q are .
So,
Make a table for the synthetic division and test possible zeros.

Step 2:
\If is a rational zero, then
is a factor of 4 and
is a factor of 4.
The possible values of are

so,.
Make a table for the synthetic division and test possible zeros.

Observe the table,, the remaining equation is
.
If remaining equation is solved the solutions are in complex numbers.
\Therefore , the solutions in real number system are .
Solution:
