Question

Solve 4x^5-12x^4+x^3-52x^2-60x-16=0

Answer 1

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^5 - 12x^4 + x^3 - 52x^2 - 60x - 16 = 0

The fastest way to do this is to draw a graph on paper or with software. This will give you any real solutions. For a complete solution you could  then use long division and  solve the quotient.

From the graph I drew there are 3 real solutions: 4  and -0.5 multiplicity 2.
