1.)

Factor the polynominal function over the complex numbers

 

f(x)=x^4-x^3-2x-4

 

 

2.)

Enter the number of complex zeros for the polynomial function in the box.

 

f(x)=x^5+4x^3-5x

 

3.)

What are the zeros od the polynomial function?

 

f(x)=x^4+2x^3-16x^2-2x+15

 

Select each correct answer.

 

-5

-1

0

x4x32x4=(x44)(x3+2x)=(x22)(x2+2)x(x2+2)=(x2+2)(x2x2)=(x+2i)(x2i)(x2)(x+1)

 

2) A fifth degree polynomial will have 5 complex zeros

 

3) x4+2x316x22x+15=(x416x2+15)+(2x32x)=(x215)(x21)+2x(x21)=(x2+2x15)(x21)=(x3)(x+5)(x1)(x+1)and the zeros can be read off as x=3, 5, 1, 1
