Question 844371: I have to find the zeros of the one part of the equation, which is r^4-13r^2+36
Now, after factoring by grouping, I got that the zeros are -3, -2, 2, and 3. But the closest choice on my multiple choice homework doesn't show that as an option, the closest one is what I got, but also a zero. Did I do something wrong or am I missing something that a zero is one of the zeros of the equation?
