The function is
, zero
.
From the conjugate pair theorem, complex zeros occur in conjugate pairs.
\Thus conjugate of
is
.

Identify Possible Rational Zeros of
:
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 polynomial function is
.
Use rational zero theorem to find the potential rational zeros of a polynomial function.
\If
is the rational zero, then
is factor of the constant term
and
is factor of the leading coefficient
.
The possible values of
are
, and
.
The possible values of
are
, and
.
Now form all possible ratios of
are,
