College Algebra Chapter 3 Solve Polynomial Equations Find zeros of a polynomial function Find all zeros of the polynomial function using the rational zero theorem, factor theorem and remainder theorem, and synthetic division. When you have found enough zeros such that your polynomial is now a quadratic, you may us the quadratic formula to find the remaining 2 solutions. 1. x3 – 4x2 – 2x+ 20 = 0
