The function is
.
Rational zeros method:
\Rational Root Theorem, if a rational number in simplest form
is a root of the polynomial equation
, then
is a factor of
and
is a factor if
.
If
is a rational zero, then
is a factor of
and
is a factor of
.
The possible values of
are
.
The possible values for
are
.
Therefore, the possible rational zeros of
are
.
The function is
.
Perform synthetic substitution method by testing
.
The depressed polynomial is
.
Therefore,
is a factor of
.
Perform synthetic substitution method by testing
.
Therefore,
is a factor of
.
The depressed polynomial is
.
The equation
has no real solutions.
By Factor theorem, when
then
is a factor of polynomial.
Therefore,
\
Thus, the real zeros
are
and
.
Factor form of
is
.
The real zeros of
are
and
.
Factor form of
is
.
