Question 389809: how do you find the zeros in this equation?
x^5-5x^4-3x^3+15x^2-4x+20=0 Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, stanbon:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the zeros in this equation?
x^5-5x^4-3x^3+15x^2-4x+20=0
---
I graphed it and found Real zeros at x = 2 and x = -2 and x = 5

Use synthetic division to look for other zeros:
2)....1....-5....-3....15....-4....20
........1.....-3....-9....-3....-10...|..0
====
-2)......1......-5....1.....-5....|..0
====
5)........1.......0.....1.....|0
----
Quotient: x^2+1
---
Complex zeros:
x^2+1 = 0
(x+i)(x-i) = 0
x = -i or x = i
