Hi,
I just asked a similar question, but I am having trouble finding the zeros on another function:
f(x) = x^4 - 8x^2 + 1
I used the rational zero theorem to find that the possible zeros should be +/- 1.
I tried using synthetic division to test both +1 and -1 to see if either of these really are zeros, and I got a remainder in both cases.
If anyone could tell me what I'm missing, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
