Question

p(x)= x5 - x4- x3 +x2 -2x + 2 1. Use the rational root test and write down a list of allpossible roots of p(x)? 2. Compute p(2). Does this contradict the rational roottest? Why or why not? " I got 0" 3. Characterize the nature of the roots. How many are there?How many rational? What about irrational and complex? 4. Use the factor theorem and long division to find aquadractic factor of p(x). 5. Solve your quadratic using the quadractic formaula. 6. Using all of your work above. Solve the equationp(x)=0   "I got 2" 7. use a graphing calculator to draw the graph of p(x) howmany times does it cross the x axis? " I gottwice" , Does this make sense "NO",Trying zooming in "I got 3 times", Does thischange your answer "YES" p(x)= x5 - x4- x3 +x2 -2x + 2 1.
