The function is , zero
.
From the conjugate pair theorem, complex zeros occur in conjugate pairs.
\Thus conjugate of is
.
.
is a one of factor of the function
.
Find the other cubic factor by using long division.
\.
Identify Possible Rational Zeros of :
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 polynomial function is .
Use rational zero theorem to find the potential rational zeros of a polynomial function.
\If is the rational zero, then
is factor of the constant term
and
is factor of the leading coefficient
.
The possible values of are
