Question 1061073: Find all zeros of the function and write the polynomial as a product of linear factors.
f(x) = 3x^4 + 4x^3 + 13x^2 + 16x + 4
a. f(x) = (3x - 1)(x - 1)(x + 2)(x - 2)
b. f(x) = (3x + 1)(x + 1)(x + 2i)(x - 2i)
c. f(x) = (3x - 1)(x - 1)(x + 2i)(x - 2i)
d. f(x) = (3x + 1)(x + 1)(x + 2)(x - 2)

Good start is to make a plot.



Plot y = 3x%5E4+%2B+4x%5E3+%2B+13x%5E2+%2B+16x+%2B+4


When you will get an idea from the plot, destroy it and solve the problem without it.
