Question 87748
Use “Synthetic Division” to determine if i, –i , and –2 are zeros of f(x) = x³ + 2x² + x + 2
----------------
-2).....1....2....1....2
.........1....0,,,,1,,|..0

---------------------------------
Remainder is zero
Quotient is x^2+1.
--------
Factoring x^2=1 you get (x+i)(x-i)
Therefore the zeroes are -2, i, and -i
