Math Problem Statement
If π₯ = 2π ππ π π§πππ ππ 82)( 24 β+= xxxf , find all zeros of the polynomial
Solution
It looks like there's some formatting confusion in the polynomial expression provided. Based on the elements present, I assume you meant to write something like:
with being a zero of the polynomial. If this is correct, I'll proceed to find all zeros of this polynomial under the assumption that is indeed a root.
Step-by-Step Solution
-
Identify Complex Conjugate Pair:
- Since the coefficients of the polynomial are real, the complex roots must come in conjugate pairs. Therefore, if is a root, then must also be a root.
