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.

(a) Given that 1 and 2 are zeros of the denominator, factor the denominator completely.

(b) Write the entire quotient for ƒ so that the numerator and the denominator are in factored form.

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