To find: All zeros of the polynomial function.
The zeros of the function would be
Given information:
A polynomial function:
Formula used:
As per Rational Zero Theorem, the possible rational zeros for any function with integer coefficients can be obtained by dividing factors of leading coefficient of highest degree term with factors of the constant term as:
Calculation:
The leading coefficient is 4 and the constant term is
Factors of 4 are
By checking possible zeros in the given function, it can be seen that
Because
By checking possible zeros in the given function, it can be seen that
Because
Solve for the quadratic equation as:
Therefore, the zeros of the function would be
