The polynomial function is and zero :
.
The root of the function is .
\
From the conjugate pair theorem, complex zeros occur in conjugate pairs.
\Thus conjugate of is
.
.
is a one of the factor of the function
.
Identify Possible Rational Zeros :
\Usually it is not practical to test all possible zeros of a polynomial function using only synthetic
\substitution.
\\
The Rational Zero Theorem can be used for finding the some possible zeros to test.
\The function is .
Because the leading coefficient is , the possible rational zeros are the integer factors of the constant term
.
\
or
.
Therefore, the possible rational zeros of are
.
Since is a known root, divide the polynomial by
to find the quotient polynomial.
This polynomial can then be used to find the remaining roots.
\.
Multiply the numerator, denominator of the complex fraction by
.
.
.
Consider which can be written as
.
.
.
The remaining roots of the function are
and
.
The remaining roots of the function are
and
