Write the polynomial as the product of linear factors and list all the zeros of the function. $$h(x)=x^{2}-2 x+17$$
Find all the zeros of the function. When there is an extended list of possible rational zeros, use a graphing utility to graph the function in order to disregard any of the possible rational zeros that are obviously not zeros of the function. $$f(s)=2 s^{3}-5 s^{2}+12 s-5$$
Find the rational zeros of the polynomial function. $$f(z)=z^{3}+\frac{11}{6} z^{2}-\frac{1}{2} z-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{6}\left(6 z^{3}+11 z^{2}-3 z-2\right)$$
Write the polynomial (a) as the product of factors that are irreducible over the rationals, (b) as the product of linear and quadratic factors that are irreducible over the reals, and (c) in completely factored form. \(f(x)=x^{4}-4 x^{3}+5 x^{2}-2 x-6\) (Hint: One factor is \(\left.x^{2}-2 x-2 .\right)\)
Match the cubic function with the numbers of rational and irrational zeros. (a) Rational zeros: \(0 ;\) irrational zeros: 1 (b) Rational zeros: \(3 ;\) irrational zeros: 0 (c) Rational zeros: \(1 ;\) irrational zeros: 2 (d) Rational zeros: \(1 ;\) irrational zeros: 0 $$f(x)=x^{3}-2 x$$
