I have tried it but i keep getting the wrong roots can someone solve this?

5 answers

is that all equal to zero.
Like so,
16x^4+8x^3+17x^2+8x+1=0
it dosent say on the worksheet, it says

g(x)=16x^4+8x^3+17x^2+8x+1
That is the same thing.

What are you trying to do? Simplify the equation.
oh well we have to figure out the roots but this one im lost on how to finish it
(4 x+1)^2 (x^2+1) is the simplified version

and x=-1/4
and x=+i and x=-i
