Use Descartes' Rule of Signs and the Rational Zeros Theorem f(x)=x45x236f ( x ) = x ^ { 4 } - 5 x ^ { 2 } - 36

Question 272

Multiple Choice

Use Descartes' Rule of Signs and the Rational Zeros Theorem to find all the real zeros of the polynomial function. Use the
zeros to factor f over the real numbers.
- f(x) =x45x236f ( x ) = x ^ { 4 } - 5 x ^ { 2 } - 36


A) 3;f(x) =(x3) 2(x2+4) 3 ; f ( x ) = ( x - 3 ) ^ { 2 } \left( x ^ { 2 } + 4 \right)
B) 3,3;f(x) =(x3) (x+3) (x2+4) - 3,3 ; f ( x ) = ( x - 3 ) ( x + 3 ) \left( x ^ { 2 } + 4 \right)
C) 3,2,3,2;f(x) =(x3) (x+3) (x2) (x+2) - 3 , - 2,3,2 ; f ( x ) = ( x - 3 ) ( x + 3 ) ( x - 2 ) ( x + 2 )
D) 2,2;f(x) =(x2) (x+2) (x2+9) - 2,2 ; f ( x ) = ( x - 2 ) ( x + 2 ) \left( x ^ { 2 } + 9 \right)
