1.Consider the following function. f(x) = 3x4 + 9x2 + 6 (a) Find the zeros algebraically. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If there are no real zeros, enter DNE.) x =
2.Consider the following function. f(x) = x4 - 8x3 + 17x2 - 8x + 16 (a) Find all zeros of the function. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) x =
(b) Write the polynomial as a product of linear factors. f(x) =
