The polynomial function is and zero :
.
The root of the function is .
From the conjugate pair theorem, complex zeros occur in conjugate pairs.
\Thus conjugate of is
.
.
is a factor of
.
Identify Possible 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 function is .
Because the leading coefficient is , the possible rational zeros are the intezer factors of the constant term
.
Therefore the possible rational zeros of are
.
Since is a known root, divide the polynomial by
to find the quotient polynomial.
This polynomial can then be used to find the remaining roots.
\
.
.
The polynomial can be written as set of linear factors.
\.
The zereos are
\\
The remaining roots of the function are
and
.
The remaining roots of the function are
and
