Use Descartes' Rule of Signs and the Rational Zeros Theorem f(x)=4x48x3+5x22x+1f ( x ) = 4 x ^ { 4 } - 8 x ^ { 3 } + 5 x ^ { 2 } - 2 x + 1

Question 114

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) =4x48x3+5x22x+1f ( x ) = 4 x ^ { 4 } - 8 x ^ { 3 } + 5 x ^ { 2 } - 2 x + 1


A) 1,1;f(x) =(x1) (x+1) (4x2+1) - 1,1 ; f ( x ) = ( x - 1 ) ( x + 1 ) \left( 4 x ^ { 2 } + 1 \right)
B) no real roots; f(x) =(x2+1) (4x2+1) \mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \left( \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 1 \right) \left( 4 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 1 \right)
C) 1- 1 , multiplicity 2; f(x) =(x+1) 2(4x2+1) f ( x ) = ( x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } \left( 4 x ^ { 2 } + 1 \right)
D) 1 , multiplicity 2; f(x) =(x1) 2(4x2+1) \mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = ( \mathrm { x } - 1 ) ^ { 2 } \left( 4 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 1 \right)
