Find all the zeros (real and complex) of f(x)= 2x^5-11x^4+19x^3-17x^2+17x-6. The final answer has to be in factored form.
---------------
Graph with a calculator to see the Real roots.
x = 0.5; x = 2 ; x = 3
------
So, f(x) = (2x-1)(x-2)(x-3)*(a quadratic with imaginary roots)
------
Divide f(x) by (2x-1)(x-2)(x-3) to find the quadratic.
-----
Use the quadratic formula to find the imaginary roots of the quadratic.
