To find the zeros of the polynomial function \( f(x) = x^3 - 10x^2 + 30x - 24 \), we need to solve the equation \( f(x) = 0 \).First, we can try to find rational roots using the Rational Root Theorem, which states that any rational root of the polynomial \( f(x) \) is a factor of the constant term (-24) divided by a factor of the leading coefficient (1). Therefore, the possible rational roots are:
We can test these possible roots by substituting them into the polynomial to see if they yield zero.Let's start with
:
So,

:
So,
is a root.Now that we have found one root, we can use polynomial division to factor the polynomial and find the other roots. We divide \( f(x) \) by \( (x - 4) \):Using synthetic division or long division, we get:
Now, we need to solve the quadratic equation
to find the remaining roots. We can use the quadratic formula:
where
,
, and
.Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
So, the zeros of the polynomial \( f(x) = x^3 - 10x^2 + 30x - 24 \) are:
