Hi
what are the zeros in
3x^4+4x^3-21x^2-10x+24 |If x = 1 then 3+4-21+24 = 0
dividing the above by (x-1)results in:
3x^3+7x^2-14x-24 |If x = 2 then 24+28-28-24 = 0
dividing the above by (x-2)results in:
3x^2 + 13x +12
factoring
(3x+4)(x+3)=0
(3x+4)= 0 x = -4/3
(x+3)=0 x = -3
the 4 'zeros' for x are: -3,-4/3,1,2
