Use Descartes' Rule of Signs and the Rational Zeros Theorem $$f ( x ) = 5 x ^ { 4 } - 7 x ^ { 3 } + 22 x ^ { 2 } - 28 x + 8$$

question 35

Multiple Choice

Use Descartes' Rule of Signs and the Rational Zeros Theorem to find all the real zeros of the polynomial function. Use the
zeros to factor f over the real numbers.
- $$f ( x ) = 5 x ^ { 4 } - 7 x ^ { 3 } + 22 x ^ { 2 } - 28 x + 8$$

• A) \(- 4 , - 1,1 , - \frac { 2 } { 5 } ; f ( x ) = ( x - 1 ) ( 5 x + 2 ) ( x + 1 ) ( x + 4 )\)
• B) \(- 4 , - 1,1 , \frac { 2 } { 5 } ; f ( x ) = ( x - 1 ) ( 5 x - 2 ) ( x + 1 ) ( x + 4 )\)
• C) \(4 , \frac { 2 } { 5 } ; f ( x ) = ( x - 4 ) ( 5 x - 2 ) \left( x ^ { 2 } + 1 \right)\)
• D) \(1 , \frac { 2 } { 5 } ; f ( x ) = ( x - 1 ) ( 5 x - 2 ) \left( x ^ { 2 } + 4 \right)\)
