In the polynomial function f(x)=x^3-4x^2+6x-4, 2 is a zero of the function. Name another zero of the function.
-----
Use synthetic division:
2)....1....-4....6....-4
.......1.....-2...2...|..0
----
Quotient: x^2-2x+2
Solve x^2-2x+2 = 0
---
x = [2 +- sqrt(4-4*1*2)]/2
---
x = [2 +- sqrt(-6)]/2
---
x = [2+sqrt(6)i]/2 or x = [2-sqrt(6)i]/2
