Question 106019: The problem is= Determine all zeros for each polynomial function.
P(X)= x3-4x2+x
All I had was below
x2(X-4)(x+1)
one answer which is 0, but then I determined my factoring was incorrect and I feel like the problem is missing something, should it have a zero on the end?
Please help. Answer by MathLover1(20849) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! = *( – + ) this product will be equal to
if or ( – + ) is equal to
So,
One zero will be for
To find other two zeros, we need to solve – + ,
and find out for what value of is equal to – + =
We can use square root formula:
eliminate in both nominator and denominator
Use same way to find
the real zeros are: , ,
since , we can write
= second zero
- = = third zero
so, the real zeros are: , ,
