Question 864280: How do i find the complex zeros of the polynomial function. and write f in factored form. I am completely lost when it comes to this. Any help would be great thank you. Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x^4+10x^3-7x^2+40x-44
has two real roots and to complex roots. The factors of -44 are possible roots.
1,-1, 4,-4, 11,-11
use synthetic division to find the real roots.
(x-1) (x+11) are the factors and the real roots are -11 and +1
the complex roots are 2i and -2i
(x^2+4)
Once you have found the real roots, the complex roots will be obvious.
