Question: Consider the following monster rational function. Analyzing this function will synthesize many of the concepts of this and earlier sections. Given that -4 and -1

Consider the following “monster” rational function.

x* – 3x3 – 21x² + 43x + 60 f(x) = x4 – 6x3 + x² + 24x – 20


Analyzing this function will synthesize many of the concepts of this and earlier sections.

Given that -4 and -1 are zeros of the numerator, factor the numerator
completely.

x* 3x3 21x + 43x + 60 f(x) = x4 6x3 + x + 24x 20
