Question 765788: I am having trouble with learning polynomials. Please help me.
Find the complex zeros of the polynomial function. Write f in factored form.
f(x)= x^4 + 12x^3 - 9x^2 + 48x - 52
The complex zeros of f are: ?
Use the complex zeros to write f in factored form: f(x) = ?

Answer by MathLover1(20850)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
..write as
....group





so, to find zeros use zero product rule:

if =>
if =>
if => => or =>
so, your solutions are:, (real),, and (complex)
