Identify Possible Rational Zeros:

\

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 $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

Perform the synthetic substitution method by testing $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Since $\"\"$ , conclude that $\"\"$ is a zero of $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore, $\"\"$ is a rational zero.

\

The depressed polynomial is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Consider $\"\"$ .

\

Perform the synthetic substitution method on the depressed polynomial by testing $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Since $\"\"$ , conclude that $\"\"$ is a zero of $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore, $\"\"$ is a rational zero.

\

The remaining factor is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Therefore $\"\"$ is a rational zero.

\

Therefore the factored form of qudratic expression is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

The zeros of the are $\"\"$ .

\

By using Factor theorem,

\

When $\"\"$ then $\"\"$ is a factor of polynomial.

\

Factoring of $\"\"$ .

\

Zeros are $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

The possible rational zeros are $\"\"$ .

\

The zeros of $\"\"$ are $\"\"$ .
