Find all the zeros of the polynomial 4x 4 -20x 3 +23x 2 +5x-6 if two of its zeros are 2 and 3.???
Answers
So, x = 2 x = 3
x-2=0 x-3=0
So, (x-2)(x-3) is the factor of given polynomial 4x*4-20x*3+23x*2+5x-6.
x²-5x+6 is the factor of given polynomial 4x*4-20x*3+23x*2+5x-6.
On dividing 4x*4-20x*3+23x*2+5x-6 with x²-5x+6
x²-5x+6) 4x*4-20x³+23x²+5x-6 (4x²-1 --- Quotient
4x*4-20x³+24x²
(-) (+) (-)

Here quotient is 4x²-1. So, it must be a factor of given polynomial 4x*4-20x*3+23x*2+5x-6
So, 4x²-1=0
4x² = 1
x² = 1/4
x = √1/4
x = + or - 1/2
x = 1/2 or -1/2
Therefore other roots of given polynomial 4x*4-20x*3+23x*2+5x-6 are 1/2, -1/2
Answer:
Given that 2, 3 are the zeros of given polynomial 4x*4-20x*3+23x*2+5x-6
So, x = 2 x = 3
x-2=0 x-3=0
So, (x-2)(x-3) is the factor of given polynomial 4x*4-20x*3+23x*2+5x-6.
x²-5x+6 is the factor of given polynomial 4x*4-20x*3+23x*2+5x-6.
On dividing 4x*4-20x*3+23x*2+5x-6 with x²-5x+6
x²-5x+6) 4x*4-20x³+23x²+5x-6 (4x²-1 --- Quotient
4x*4-20x³+24x²
