The other zeros of the polynomial are \( x = -4 \) and \( x = -5 \).

Solución

1. Since it is given that \( x = 1 \) is a zero of the polynomial \[ f(x) = x^3 + 8x^2 + 11x - 20, \] we can factor \( f(x) \) by dividing it by \( (x - 1) \). 2. We perform synthetic division with the zero \( 1 \) using the coefficients \( 1 \), \( 8 \), \( 11 \), and \( -20 \): \[ \begin{array}{r|rrrr} 1 & 1 & 8 & 11 & -20 \\ \hline & & 1 & 9 & 20 \\ \end{array} \] - Bring down the first coefficient: \( 1 \). - Multiply \( 1 \) (the zero) by \( 1 \) to get \( 1 \); add this to \( 8 \) to get \( 9 \). - Multiply \( 1 \) by \( 9 \) to get \( 9 \); add this to \( 11 \) to get \( 20 \). - Multiply \( 1 \) by \( 20 \) to get \( 20 \); add this to \( -20 \) to obtain the remainder \( 0 \). Since the remainder is \( 0 \), the division is exact and we have: \[ f(x) = (x - 1)(x^2 + 9x + 20). \] 3. Next, we factor the quadratic \( x^2 + 9x + 20 \). We look for two numbers that add up to \( 9 \) and multiply to \( 20 \). These numbers are \( 4 \) and \( 5 \): \[ x^2 + 9x + 20 = (x + 4)(x + 5). \] 4. Therefore, the complete factorization of the polynomial is: \[ f(x) = (x - 1)(x + 4)(x + 5). \] 5. The zeros of the polynomial \( f(x) \) are the solutions to: \[ x - 1 = 0,\quad x + 4 = 0,\quad x + 5 = 0. \] Solving these equations gives: \[ x = 1,\quad x = -4,\quad x = -5. \] The other zeros of the polynomial are \( x = -4 \) and \( x = -5 \).

To find the other zeros of the polynomial \( f(x) = x^3 + 8x^2 + 11x - 20 \) given that \( x = 1 \) is a zero, we can perform synthetic division: 1. Set up synthetic division using \( x = 1 \): ``` 1 | 1 8 11 -20 | 1 9 20 ------------------- 1 9 20 0 ``` The remainder is 0, indicating that \( f(x) \) can be factored as \( f(x) = (x - 1)(x^2 + 9x + 20) \). 2. Next, we need to factor the quadratic \( x^2 + 9x + 20 \). We look for two numbers that multiply to 20 and add up to 9. These numbers are 4 and 5. 3. Thus, we can factor the quadratic as: \[ x^2 + 9x + 20 = (x + 4)(x + 5) \] 4. Therefore, the complete factorization of the polynomial \( f(x) \) is: \[ f(x) = (x - 1)(x + 4)(x + 5) \] 5. The other zeros are found by solving \( x + 4 = 0 \) and \( x + 5 = 0 \): - \( x + 4 = 0 \) gives \( x = -4 \) - \( x + 5 = 0 \) gives \( x = -5 \) Thus, the zeros of the polynomial \( f(x) \) are \( x = 1, -4, -5 \).
