P(x) = x^4 − 8x^3 + 8x^2 + 23x + 6
x = Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Lead term coefficient 1
Constant term coefficient +6
Some negative terms in the expression
Rational Roots Theorem tells that the possible roots to check are from plus and minus of 1, 2, 3, 6.
Synthetic Division can be used to start and check. You should find with no trouble that the roots include -1 and +6.
