You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x)= 3x^5-10x^4+6x^3+20x^2-97x+30
Find the zeros
Write in standard form
================
Try the factors of 30, ie, 1,2,3,5,6,10,15 (plus and minus)
Factor out any integer roots.
f(x)= 3x^5-10x^4+6x^3+20x^2-97x+30
eg,
f(1) = 3 -10 +6 +30 -97 +30 = -48 NG so x-1 is not a factor.
etc
=============
If you have Excel use it for the calculations.
