Step 1
Factoring polynomials
Step 2
f(x)=2x45x320x2+115x52
=2x4+8x313x252x2+32x2+128x13x52
=2x3(x+4)13x2(x+4)+32x(x+4)13(x+4)
=(x+4)(2x313x2+32x13)
f(x)=(x+4)(2x3x212x2+6x+26x13)
f(x)=(x+4)(x2(2x1)6x(2x1)+13(2x1))
f(x)=(x+4)(2x1)(x26x+13)
Real zeros at x=4,12
Comple zeros are root of x26x+13
f(x)=(x+4)(2x1)(x26x+9+4)
f(x)=(x+4)(2x1)((x+3)2+4)
f(x)=(x+4)(2x1)(x+3+2i)(x+32i)
Now complex zeros are x=3+2iand32i
