Find all roots of:2x^5-4x^4-15x^3+22x^2+25x-30=0(Hint: Graph this function to determine the obvious roots first. Then use long division/synthetic division to divide their factors out of the function. You will be left with a quadratic that you can solve with the quadratic formula).Type your answers in order from least to greatest. Remember that square roots have both a positive and negative value.Round to two decimal places if needed.

Do you know how to use synthetic division?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol. to make things easier for you, check out my profile, since I just answered a question similar to yours. I had to use synthetic division to find all the zeroes, which is what you need

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you check it out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well did you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's a pretty long division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well here it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you still have to keep going with \[x ^{2}+x-5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the quadratic formula to get the remaining zeroes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I already found 3 for you, but you need find the remaining two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry I made a mistake: at the end you are left with \[2x ^{2}-5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve for x and you get x= +- 1.58113883
