The equation is .
Let .
Rational zeros method :
\Rational Root Theorem, if a rational number in simplest form is a root of the polynomial equation
, then
is a factor of
and
is a factor if
.
If is a rational zero, then
is a factor of
and
is a factor of
.
The possible factors of are
.
The possible factors for are
.
So, .
Consider .
Substitute in
.
Since ,
is not a zero of
.
Consider .
Using synthetic division:
\
Since ,
is a zero of
.
Therefore by factor theorem, .
The depressed polynomial of is
.
Consider .
Consider .
Using synthetic division:
\
Since ,
is a zero of
.
Therefore by factor theorem, .
The depressed polynomial is .
Factoring the above eqation.
\ and
.
The solutions of equation in real number system is .
The solutions of equation in real number system are .
