Question 87621
find all zeros of the function  X^3+3x^2-x+12
---------
Graphing I find x=-4 is a zero
Using Synthetic Divisionyou can find two other zeroes, as follows:

-4).....1....3....-1....12
..........1....-1....3...|..0

----------------------
Remainder is zero
Quotient is x^2-x+3
Use the quadratic formula to find the zeroes of x^2-x+3
x = [1+-sqrt(1-4*1*3)]/2

x = [1+-isqrt(11)]/2

------------------
So the zeroes are x=-4, x= [1+isqrt(11)]/2 and x= [1-isqrt(11)]/2
