h(x) =x^4-9x^3+18x^2
To find
the zeros of f(x) we first factorise the expression on the left of the equation and then
equate each factor to zero and solve for x.
x^4-9x^3 +18
x^2 = 0
Here x^2 is a factor of each term . So we factor
out x^2.
x^2(x^2-9x+18) = 0
......(1).
Now we consider x^2-9x+18 for
factorisation.
x^2 -9x +18 = x^2-6x-3x +18 =
0
x(x-6) -3(x-6) =
0
(x-6)(x-3) = 0.
Therefore
x^4-9x^3+18x^2 = x^2(x-6)(x-3) = 0
Equate each factor to
zer and solve for x.
x^2 = 0 gives x =
0
x-6 = 0 gives x = 6
x-3 = 0
gives x = 3.
So x= 0, x = 6 x = 3 are the solutions for
x.
