Find all zeros of the functionSolutionfx x4 8x3 3x2 to fi
Find all zeros of the function:
Solution
f(x) = x^4 + 8x^3 + 3x^2
to find zeros of the function set function to zero
x^4 + 8x^3 + 3x^2 = 0
taking x^2 as gcf
x^2 ( x^2 + 8x + 3 ) = 0
set each factor to zero
x^2 = 0 , ( x^2 + 8x + 3 ) = 0
x^2 + 8x + 3 = 0
solving the quadratic equation
x = { - 8 + - sqrt ( 8^2 - 12 ) } / 2
x = - 4 + - sqrt (13 )
therefore, zeros of the function are
x = 0
x = 0
x = - 4 + sqrt 13
x = -4 - sqrt 13
