Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the zeros, we need to factorize the expression as much as possible.

So, let's try dividing the function by (3x + 1). If the remainder is zero (3x + 1) is one of the factors of the polynomial.

Then, f(x) = 6x⁴ + 35x³ + 11x² - 300x - 100 divided by (3x + 1) is equal to:

Therefore, (3x + 1) is a factor and the other factor is (2x³ + 11x² - 100).

Now, let's try with (2x - 5), so (2x³ + 11x² - 100)² divided by (2x - 5) is equal to:

Therefore, (2x - 5) is another factor of f(x)

Now, we can rewrite the expression as:

f(x) = (3x + 1)(2x - 5)(x² + 8x + 20)

So, the zeros of the polynomial are:

3x + 1 = 0

3x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

3x = -1

3x/3 = -1/3

x = -1/3

2x - 5 = 0

2x - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5

2x = 5

2x/2 = 5/2

x = 5/2

And the solutions for the equation (x² + 8x + 20) = 0 can be calculated by the quadratic equation as:
