HURR I’LL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST CORRECTLY i already wasted all my points on questions nobody answered if someone answers this CORRECTLY you’re the best person ever

The function below has at least one rational zero. Use this fact to find ALL zeros of the function.

g(x)=5x^3+x^2-20^x-4

If there is more than one zero, separate them with commas. Write exact values, not decimal approximations.

4 zeros

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to use the Rational Zeros Theorem, as instructed, you need to use synthetic division to find zeros until you get a quadratic remainder.

P: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6  (all prime factors of constant term)

Q: ±1, ±7              (all prime factors of the leading coefficient)

P/Q: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6, ±1/7, ±2/7, ±3/7, ±6/7  (all possible values of P/Q)

Now, start testing your values of P/Q in your polynomial:

f(x)=7x4-9x3-41x2+13x+6

You can tell f(1) and f(-1) are not zeros since they're not = 0Now try f(2) and f(-2):

f(2)=7(16)-9(8)-41(4)+13(2)+6

       112-72-164+26+6 ≠ 0

f(-2)=7(16)-9(-8)-41(4)+13(-2)+6

       112+72-164-26+6 = 0  OK!! There is a zero at x=-2

This means (x+2) is a factor of the polynomial.

Now, do synthetic division to find the polynomial that results from

(7x4-9x3-41x2+13x+6)÷(x+2):

-2⊥ 7   -9   -41    13     6

         -14   46   -10    -6          

      7  -23   5       3     0     The remainder is 0, as expected

The quotient is a polynomial of degree 3:

7x3-23x2+5x+3

Now, continue testing the P/Q values with this new polynomial.  Try f(3):

f(3)=7(27)-23(9)+5(3)+3

      189-207+15+3 = 0  OK!!  we found another zero at x=3

Now, another synthetic division:

3⊥ 7   -23    5     3

          21   -6   -3_

    7    -2    -1    0    

The quotient is a quadratic polynomial:

7x2-2x-1  This is not factorable, you need to apply the quadratic formula to find the 3rd and 4th zeros:

x= (1±2√2)÷7  

The polynomial has 4 zeros at x=-2, 3, (1±2√2)÷7

i used to know how to do this in 7th but i forget easily
