Problema Solution

Find the real and complex zeros of the following function. Please show all of your work.

F(X)=X^3-X^2+25X-25

Answer provided by our tutors

F(X)=X^3-X^2+25X-25

F(1)=0 then x=1 is a root.

By dividing the polynomial by x-1 we have

the quotient is x^2+25=0.

x^2=-25.

x=+5i ,-5i.

The roots are x=1, 5i,-5i.
