Solution Summary
Factoring out is demonstrated. Complex zeros are factored out..
Solution Preview
1) Factor out x^2:
P(x)=x^2(x^2+49)
The zeros of P(x) are x=0 with multiplicity 2 (bacuse x^2 can be written as (x-0)^2) and the zeros of x^2+49, which are x=7i, x=-7i.
So, P(x)=x^2(x-7i)(x+7i)
2)P(x) = x^3 â?' 10x^2 + 50x
Factor out x: P(x)=x(x^2-10x+50) and solve the equation x^2-10x+50=0
we get ...
