Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = [tex]x^{4}[/tex] + 3x³ - 4x²

To find the zeros equate f(x) to zero, that is

[tex]x^{4}[/tex] + 3x³ - 4x² = 0 ← factor out x² from each term

x²(x² + 3x - 4) = 0 ← factor the quadratic

x²(x + 4)(x - 1) = 0 ← in standard form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x² = 0 ⇒ x = 0 with multiplicity 2

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

zeros are x = - 4, x = 0, x = 1
