(a)find the rational zeros and all the other zeroes that is solve f(x)=0.
(b)express f(x) as a product of linear factors.
Factor the first two terms and the last two terms
Take out the common factor (x-2):
Write +16 as -(-16)
Since the square roots of -16 are 4i and -4i we can factor
x²+(-16) as the difference of squares:
Set each factor = 0 to find the zeros:
x-2=0; x-4i=0; x+4i=0
x=2; x=4i; x=-4i
