How would you go about solving (4(x^3)+38(x^2)+44x-20)/(20+12x+x^2), without the use of a computer, further, what about functions which have more x components, with higher powers. Also what process do computers use to solve these.
This isn't an equation, so there's nothing to solve. You can simplify it, by eliminating factors that are common to both the numerator and denominator, or you can carry out polynomial long division.How would you go about solving (4(x^3)+38(x^2)+44x-20)/(20+12x+x^2), without the use of a computer

f(x)=(4(x^3)+38(x^2)+44x-20)/(20+12x+x^2), to find when this is equal to 0 (or if it ever does) and what method is used to determine these propertiesThis isn't an equation, so there's nothing to solve.

Look for values of x that make the numerator equal to zero. The best way to do that is to factor the numerator.f(x)=(4(x^3)+38(x^2)+44x-20)/(20+12x+x^2), to find when this is equal to 0 (or if it ever does) and what method is used to determine these properties
