Given the polynomial function f(x), find the rational zeros, then the other zeros (that is, solve the equation ), and factor f(x) into linear factors.f(x) = x3 + 3x2 + 9x + 27

A. -3, -3i, 3i; f(x) = (x + 3)(x + 3i)(x - 3i)
B. -3, -, multiplicity 2; f(x) = (x + 3)(x + )2
C. -, multiplicity 2; 3i; f(x) = (x + )2(x - 3i)
D. -3, 27i, 9i; f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 27i)(x - 9i)
