Answer

$-3,\pm2i$

Work Step by Step

1. List possible rational zeros, 2. Use synthetic division, test these values from low to high, do not forget about multiplicity (m) of zeros. 3. It can be found that $x=3$ is a zero of $m=2$ as shown. 4 Reduce P to quadratic terms: $P=(x-3)^2(x^2+4)$ 5. Find all zeros: $-3,\pm2i$
