Solution
Let f(x) =`x^4 + x^3 – 23x^2 – 3x + 60`
Since `sqrt3` and `–sqrt3` are the zeroes of f(x), it follows that each one of (x – √3) and (x + √3) is a factor of f(x).
Consequently, `(x – sqrt3) (x + sqrt3) = (x^2 – 3)`is a factor of f(x).
On dividing f(x) by `(x^2 – 3)`, we get:
f(x) = 0
⇒ `(x^2 + x – 20) (x^2 – 3) = 0`
⇒ `(x^2 + 5x – 4x – 20) (x^2 – 3)`
⇒ `[x(x + 5) – 4(x + 5)] (x^2 – 3)`
⇒ `(x – 4) (x + 5) (x – sqrt3) (x + sqrt3) = 0`
⇒ `x = 4 or x = -5 or x = sqrt3 or x = -sqrt3`
Hence, all the zeroes are √3, -√3, 4 and -5.
