27. \(f(x) = 3x^2 + 2x + 10 = 3(x - (-\dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{\sqrt{29}}{3}i))(x - (-\dfrac{1}{3} - \dfrac{\sqrt{29}}{3}i))\). Zeros: \(x = -\dfrac{1}{3} \pm \dfrac{\sqrt{29}}{3}i\)
29. \(f(x) = x^3 + 6x^2 + 6x + 5 = (x + 5) (x^2 + x + 1) = (x + 5)(x - (-\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}i))(x - (-\dfrac{1}{2} - \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}i))\) Zeros: \(x = -5\), \(x = -\dfrac{1}{2} \pm \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} i\)
31. \(f(x) = x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 12 = (x + 3) (x^2 + 4) = (x + 3)(x + 2i)(x - 2i)\). Zeros: \(x = -3, \pm 2i\)
33. \(f(x) = x^3 + 7x^2 + 9x - 2 = (x + 2)(x - (-\dfrac{5}{2} + \dfrac{\sqrt{29}}{2}))(x - (-\dfrac{5}{2} - \dfrac{\sqrt{29}}{2}))\) Zeros: \(x = -2\), \(x = -\dfrac{5}{2} \pm \dfrac{\sqrt{29}}{2}\)
35. \(f(x) = 4x^4 - 4x^3 + 13x^2 - 12x + 3 = (x - \dfrac{1}{2})^2 (4x^2 + 12) = 4(x - \dfrac{1}{2})^2 (x + i \sqrt{3})(x - i \sqrt{3})\) Zeros: \(x = \dfrac{1}{2}, x = \pm \sqrt{3} i\)
37. \(f(x) = x^4 + x^3 + 7x^2 + 9x - 18 = (x + 2) (x - 1)(x^2 + 9) = (x + 2)(x - 1)(x + 3i)(x - 3i)\) Zeros: \(x = -2, 1, \pm 3i\)
39. \(f(x) = -3x^4 - 8x^3 - 12x^2 - 12x - 5 = (x + 1)^2 (-3x^2 - 2x - 5) = -3(x + 1)^2 (x - (-\dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{\sqrt{14}}{3} i))(x - (-\dfrac{1}{3} - \dfrac{\sqrt{14}}{3} i))\) Zeors: \(x = -1\), \(x = -\dfrac{1}{3} \pm \dfrac{\sqrt{14}}{3} i\)
41. \(f(x) = x^4 + 9x^2 + 20 = (x^2 + 4)(x^2 + 5) = (x - 2i)(x + 2i)(x - i\sqrt{5}) (x + i\sqrt{5})\) Zeros: \(x = \pm 2i, \pm i \sqrt{5}\)
