Step-by-step explanation:
note when x = - 3
(- 3)³ + 2(- 3)² + 4(- 3) + 21 = - 27 + 18 - 12 + 21 = 0
hence x = - 3 is a zero and (x + 3) is a factor and dividing gives
= (x + 3)(x² - x + 7)
For zeros equate to zero
(x + 3)(x² - x + 7) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x² - x + 7 = 0 ← solve using quadratic formula
x = (1 ± ) / 2 = (1 ± 3i
) / 2
x = ±
zeros are x = - 3, x = ±
