One of the roots of the cubic equation x^3-4x^2+2x+4=0 is
A. 1+ the square root of 3
B. -1+ the square root of 3
C. -1+2 the square root of 3
D. 1+2 the square root of 3
----------------------------------
I graphed the equation and found a zero at x = 2
---
Now use synthetic division to find the other zeroes:
2)....1....-4....2....4
.......1.....-2...-2..|..0
Solve x^2-2x-2 = 0
x = [2 +- sqrt(4-4*1*-2)]/2
---
x = [2 +- sqrt(12)]/2
---
x = [2 +- 2sqrt(3)]/2
---
x = 1+sqrt(3) or x = 1-sqrt(3)
