60 (6 points) Find the zeros of the polynomial function and state the multiplicity of each. f() 4.19 48
Solution
f(x)= x4-19x2+48
f(x)= x4-16x2-3x2+48
f(x)= x2(x2-16) - 3(x2-16)
f(x)= (x2-3)(x+4)(x-4)
To find the zeroes we have to plug f(x)=0
(x + sqrt3)(x-sqrt3)(x+4)(x-4)=0
x=-sqrt3 with a multiplicity of 1
x=sqrt3 with a multiplicity of 1
x=4 with a multiplicity of 1
x=-4 with a multiplicity of 1
