Find all the zero
Let p(x) = 2x4 – 3x3 – 3x2 + 6x – 2
Now, 1 and 1/2 are the zeroes of the polynomial. So, by factor theorem we know that (x – 1) and (x – 1/2) will completely divide p(x)
(x – 1)(2x – 1) is a factor of p(x)
2x2 – 3x + 1 is a factor of p(x).
Dividing p(x) by 2x2 – 3x + 1, we get,

Therefore,
2x4 – 3x3 – 3x2 + 6x – 2 = (2x2 – 3x + 1)(x2 – 2)
Now, for finding the zeroes,
Putting (2x2 – 3x + 1)(x2 – 2) = 0
x2 – 2 = 0
(x + √2)(x - √2) = 0
x = -√2 or x = √2
Hence, the zeroes of the polynomial 2x4 – 3x3 – 3x2 + 6x – 2 are 1, 1/2 , √2 and -√2.
