Given
P(x)=6x47x312x2+3x+2
Answer
P(x)=6x47x312x2+3x+2
use long division to find zeros of p(x)
from the long division, we get
x=-1, x=2 and 6x2x1=0
x=(1)±(1)24(6)(1)2(6)
=1±1+2412
=1±2512
=1±512
x=612 and x=412
x=12 and x=13
Therefore the zeros of p(x) is x =-1, 13,12 and 2
Factor of p(x),
p(x)=(x+1)(x+13)(x12)(x2)
