find all the zeros of the function by the root theorem! 2x^3 - 4x^2 - 10x + 20=0
\n" ); document.write( "2x^3 - 4x^2 - 10x + 20 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "by putting x=2
\n" ); document.write( "we will get value of polynomial as 0
\n" ); document.write( "so (x-2) is one factor by remainder theorem
\n" ); document.write( "by dividing whole polynomial by x-2
\n" ); document.write( "we will get \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x^3 - 4x^2 - 10x + 20 /x-2=2x^2-10
\n" ); document.write( "so factors are (x-2)(2X^2-10)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x-2=0 or 2x^2-10=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=2 or 2x^2=10
\n" ); document.write( " or x^2=5
\n" ); document.write( " or x=sqrt 5
\n" ); document.write( "therefor zero of equations are ( as we know zero of cubic equations will be 3)
\n" ); document.write( "x=2 or x=sqrt5 or x=-sqrt5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
