![Page 1: Find a polynomial with specified zeros. For a polynomial function with integer coefficients, find the rational zeros and the other zeros, if possible.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56649ed95503460f94be88c2/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
Find a polynomial with specified zeros. For a polynomial function with integer coefficients, find the rational zeros and the other zeros, if possible. Use Descartes’ rule of signs to find information about the number of real zeros of a polynomial function with real coefficients.

Zeros of Polynomial Functions with Real Coefficients
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison Wesley
Nonreal Zeros: If a complex number a + bi, b 0, is a zero of a polynomial function f(x) with real coefficients, then its conjugate, a bi, is also a zero. (Nonreal zeros occur in conjugate pairs.)
Irrational Zeros: If where a, b, and c are rational and b is not a perfect square, is a zero of a polynomial function f(x) with rational coefficients, then its conjugate is also a zero.
