Finding Zeros: http://prntscr.com/4cuhv3 I understand that -2i has a conjugate (+2i) but I'm not to sure how to find the other zeros (if there are any)
@SithsAndGiggles
well you can solve this problem by plugging in the differnt values and see which fit or you can proceed a sfollows
multiply (x-2i)(x+2i) to get a quadratic that divides evenly into your quartic. then find the roots of the quotient (a quadratic)
Well, you know the factored form is: \[ (x-2i)(x+2i) (\ldots) \]So multiply them first.
Then you can divide the resulting polynomial out through synthetic division.
you can proceed as phi as suggested
or notice we can factor your quartic (almost like a quadratic) into (x^2 + 4) ( x^2 -36)
alright, thanks! I will work it out in a minute and see what I get
that last suggestion by phi is the easiest way
either x^2 + 4 = 0 giving x^2 = -4 - this gives rise to the roots 2i and -2i or x^2 - 36 = 0 giving ?
