Use Descartes' Rule of Signs and the Rational Zeros Theorem to find all the real zeros of the polynomial function. Use the zeros to factor f over the real numbers. f(x) = 4x4 - 8x3 + 5x2 - 2x + 1
A. no real roots; f(x) = (x2 + 1)(4x2 + 1)
B. -1, multiplicity 2; f(x) = (x + 1)2(4x2 + 1)
C. -1, 1; f(x) = (x - 1)(x + 1)(4x2 + 1)
D. 1, multiplicity 2; f(x) = (x - 1)2(4x2 + 1)
