Question 1057587: Given f(x)=3x^4-11x^3+10x -4
A.Find the rational zeros then the other zeros
B.Factor f(x) into linear factors
I have done P/Q to get the potential rational solutions +- 1,2,4,(1/3),(2/3),(4/3)
I then plugged in 1 which didn't get me a 0 so i tried -1 and got a 0
I then did synthetic division but could not write the depressed equation, that where i got stuck. Any help would be appreciated

Although not a full answer; the graph has one integer root and two other real roots. See a graph using Google Search Engine for your function as written. The integer root is . There are two positive real roots and they do not appear to be rational.

You may need one of the approximation methods for root-finding.
