possible zeros of 2x^5+3x^3+5x^2-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

possible zeros come from factors of 6 therefore: 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3 But mostly, you try 1 and -1 first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isnt it factor of 6 and 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is a fact. Possible zeroes come from factors of the coefficient independent of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the remainder theory to find the zeroes for the polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if P(x) = 0, x is a zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well think you can find it or me for now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find it yourself I just told you how to find it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol im on a test bro..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x^5+3x^3+5x^2-6 = 0 No of possible for Real Positive roots is 1 no of possible for Real -ve roots is 2 or 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since f(0)<0 and f(1)>0 one root is between 0 and 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Bolzano theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to use the rational zeros theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

root is 0.83271 it is not integer, so it is not easy
