Find All Real Solutions: 2X^4+3Y^3-16Y^2+15Y-4
should that be a "Y^4" ?
yes oops
I have the answer i just need to know how.
if you see the attach i don't see why use 1 for syntactic division.
its the rational zero theorem ....if there any rational zeros, then they must be factors of leading coefficient and constant --> 4,2,1,1/2,1/4 then you try those using synthetic division, if you get remainder of 0, then its a solution
so i need to try all possible solutions?
yes, well until you find one that works....the trend is to start will smaller values first since they will be more likely
yes...these can be a pain, if you can , use a graphing calculator and graph the function to see where the zeros are then just verify with synthetic division
ok thanks
