If f(x) = 2x^3- 2x^2 - 14x + 30 and x + 3 is a factor of f(x), then find all of
the zeros of f(x) algebraically.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First confirm that x = 1 is one of the zeros.

f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 14(1)^2 + 38(1) - 26

f(1) = 2 - 14 + 38 - 26

f(1) = -12 + 38 = + 26

f(1) = 26 - 26

f(1) = 0

=========================

next perform a long division

x -1  || 2x^3 - 14x^2 + 38x - 26 || 2x^2 - 12x + 26

         2x^3 - 2x^2

         ===========

                   -12x^2 + 28x

                    -12x^2 +12x

                    ==========

                                 26x -26

                                 26x - 26

                                ========

                                     0

Now you can factor 2x^2 - 12x + 26

                                2(x^2 - 6x + 13)

The discriminate of the quadratic is negative. (36 - 4*1*13) = - 16

So you are going to get a complex result.

x = -(-6) +/- sqrt(-16)

    =============

                2

x  = 3 +/- 2i

f(x) = 2*(x - 1)*(x - 3 + 2i)*(x - 3 - 2i)

The zeros are

1

3 +/- 2i
