Answer 18

One way to do it, is to find all the roots of the 4 degree function thta you have.
I wound them to be ±i, 2±√3

Answer 19

and the second expression (the denominator, or the d(x) ) has 2 roots, ±i.

So in your result after dividing, the expression will have 2 roots, `2± √3`

Answer 20

you know the expression
(x - 2 -√3)( x - 2 + √3) = x² - 4x + 1

Answer 21

I went the complex way, you could have just divided it too...
