You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the real roots of the polynomial y=3x^4-5x^3-5x^2+5x+2
---
The coefficients add up to 0 so x = 1 is a root.
---
Use synthetic division to find the other roots:
1)....3....-5....-5....5....2
.......3.....-2....-7...-2...|..0
Quotient: 3x^3 - 2x^2 -7x -2
x = -1 is a root
-1)....3....-2....-7....-2
........3.....-5....-2...|..0
Quotient: 3x^2-5x-2
--
Find the roots of the quadratic:
x = [5 +- sqrt(25-4*-2)]/6
-----
x = [-5 +- sqrt(33)]/6
------
You now have the 4 roots
