test/317215: Find the zeros of the polynomial function f(x)=x^7−x^5−16x^3+16x and state the multiplicity of each. 1 solutions Answer 227087 by Fombitz(13828)   on 2010-06-24 13:35:02 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! As you see from the graph, there are 5 real roots. x=-2,-1,0,1,2 Each root has multiplicity of 1. . . . The polynomial found by these zeros is, Divide the original polynomial by this polynomial to find the quadratic remainder. . . . First factor: Subtract this from the original polynomial to get the remainder, . . . Next factor: Subtract this from the remainder . . . So the remainder quadratic is which has complex roots (,) . . .
