Question

Find the zeros (roots) of the following equations.

f(x) = 2x^5 - 9x^4 + 12x^3 - 12x^2 + 10x - 3 = 0

Answer 1

0.5, 1, and 3

Explanation:

Using a graphing calculator, graph the function f(x) = 2x^5 - 9x^4 + 12x^3 - 12x^2 + 10x - 3 = 0. The zeros or roots are where the function crosses the x-axis. Zoom in on the x-axis to identify the x values as the zeros.
