(x - 1) (x -2) (x - 3) (x + 3)  =

 

[ x^2 - 3x + 2] [ x^2 - 9 ] =

 

x^4  -  3x^3 + 2x^2

+                 - 9x^2 +  27x - 18

________________________

x^4   -  3x^3  -  7x^2 + 27x - 18   

 

 

 4x^3  -  20x^2  +  24x   =  0       divide through by  4

 

x^3  -  5x^2  + 6x  = 0      factor

 

x (x^2 - 5x + 6)  = 0

 

x( (x - 3) (x -2)  = 0

 

The zeroes  are    0, 2 , 3

 

 

x^3  -  216  =  0        factor as a difference of cubes

 

(x - 6) (x^2  + 6x  +  36)

 

6 is a root

 

And using the quadratic formula  the other  roots will be complex

 

So we will have

 

[ -6 ±  √ [ 36 - 144] ] / 2

 

[ -6 ±  √ [  - 108] ] / 2

 

[ -6 ±  √ [  - 36 * 3 ] ] / 2

 

[ -6 ±  6i√ [  3] ] / 2

 

-3  + 3i√ 3       and  -3  - 3i√ 3
