SV#1: Unit F Concept 10 - Finding all real and imaginary zeroes of a polynomial



This problem is about finding the zeroes of a polynomial equation. You find the p's and the q's in order to find the possible zeroes values. You also use the Descartes Rules of Signs to find how many positive and negative real zeroes there are. Then you use synthetic division to factor the polynomial into a quadratic which you would plug in to the quadratic equation and find the zeroes.

One of the things to pay close attention to is the signs used in order to solve the problem, In other words, you need to make sure to distribute the negative accurately. You need to make sure to write the imaginary zeroes involving the "x" in the problem.
