Concept explainers
To find: all real zeros of the function.
The real zeros of the function 23,2, and 4 .
Given information:
The f(x)=−3x3+20x2−36x+16 .
Formula used:
The Rational Zero Theorem:
If f(x)=anxn+⋯+a1x+a0 consists of integer coefficients, then the shape of each rational zero of f is as follows:
pq= factor of constant term a0 factor of leading coefficient an
Calculation:
Consider the function
f(x)=−3x3+20x2−36x+16
List the possible rational zeros of f :
±11,±21,±41,±81,±161,±13,±23,±43,±83,±163
Choose reasonable values from the list above to check using the graph of the function.
For f , the values x=23,x=2 and x=4 are reasonable based on the graph.
Check the values using synthetic division until a zero is found.
23 is a zero.
23−320−3616−212−16−318−240
Factor out a binomial using the result of the synthetic division.
Write a product of factors.
Factor −3 out of the second factor.
Multiply the first factor by −3 .
(x−23)(−3x2+18x−24)(x−23)(−3)(x2−6x+8)(−3x+2)(x2−6x+8)
Repeat the steps above for g(x)=x2−6x+8 .
The graph shows that 2 may be a zero.
Until a zero is discovered, use synthetic division to check the values.
2 is a zero.
Utilizing the output of the synthetic division, factor out a binomial.
Write a product of factors.
(−3 x+2)(x−2)(x−4)
Use the zero-product property.
0=(−3 x+2)(x−2)(x−4)−3 x+2=0x−2=0, x−4=0
Solve for x .
The real zeros of f are 23,2, and 4 .
