Algebra.Com's Answer #94791 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! given one of the zeros of the polynomial, find the remaining zeros \n" ); document.write( "4x4-8x3-x2+8x-3=0, x=-1 \n" ); document.write( "-------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "The coefficients add up to zero so x=1 is also a zero. \n" ); document.write( "Use synthetic division to find the other zeroes: \n" ); document.write( "1)....4....-8....-1....8....-3 \n" ); document.write( "........4.....-4....-5...3..|..0 \n" ); document.write( "-1).......4.....-8.....3..|..0\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So x=1, and x=-1 are zeros. \n" ); document.write( "The Quotient now is 4x^2-8x+3 \n" ); document.write( "which factors as (2x-1)(2x-3) \n" ); document.write( "So the remaining zeros are x= 1/2 and x=3/2 \n" ); document.write( "==================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
