Find all zeros of the polynomial $x^3\ +\ 3x^2\ -\ 2x\ -\ 6$, if two of its zeros are $-\sqrt{2}$ and $\sqrt{2}$.
Given:
Given polynomial is $x^3\ +\ 3x^2\ -\ 2x\ -\ 6$ and two of its zeroes are $-\sqrt{2}$ and $\sqrt{2}$.
To do:
We have to find all the zeros of the given polynomial.
Solution:
If $-\sqrt{2}$ and $\sqrt{2}$ are zeros of the given polynomial then $(x-\sqrt2)(x+\sqrt2)$ is a factor of it.
This implies,
$(x-\sqrt2)(x+\sqrt2)=x^2-(\sqrt2)^2=x^2-2$
Therefore,
Dividend$=x^3+3x^2-2x-6$
Divisor$=x^2-2$
$x^2-2$)$x^3+3x^2-2x-6$($x+3$
$x^3 -2x$
----------------------
$3x^2-6$
$3x^2-6$
----------------
$0$
Quotient$=x+3$
To find the other zeros put $x+3$.
$x+3=0$
$x=-3$
All the zeros of the given polynomial are $-\sqrt2$, $\sqrt2$ and $-3$.
