Answer:
36, 32, 28, 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Fill in the values of n and do the arithmetic.
a1 = 36 -4(1 -1) = 36
a2 = 36 -4(2 -1) = 32
a3 = 36 -4(3 -1) = 28
a4 = 36 -4(4 -1) = 24
_____
You could recognize the formula as the specific case of the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence with first term 36 and common difference -4. That tells you the second term is 36 -4 = 32, and each successive term is 4 less than the one before.
As per Descartes Theorem, a polynomial of degree n (n is the highest exponent of a polynomial) has n roots (or number of zeros) be it positive, negative, real or complex.
in f(x) = x⁶ + x⁵ + x⁴ + 4x³ − 12x² + 12, the highest degree is 6, then it has
a total of 6 zeros, positive, negative, real or complex.
