Find the zeros of the following functions:
f(x)=x^4+6x^3+11X^2+12x+18
----------
It has a zero at x=-3 of multiplicity 2.
Using synthetic division, find the remaining factor:
-3)....1.....6.....11.....12.....18
-3)....1.....3......2......6..|..0
.......1.....0......2....|.0
-------------
Quotient: x^2+2
Factors as (x-isqrt2)(x+isqrt2)
Zeroes at -3,-3,isqrt2,-isqrt2
--------
