Find all the zeroes of the polynomial 2𝑥4 10𝑥3 + 5𝑥2 + 15𝑥 12, if it is given that two of its zeroes are √3 /2 and √3/2

As per my interpretation the given quadratic polynomial is 2x4-10x3+5x2+15x-12 and the given two roots are 32 and -32.
Since 32 and -32 are the zeroes of the given polynomial, so the factors are x-32 and x+32
So we have;
x-32x+32 = 0x2-322 = 0x2-32 = 02x2-3 = 0
Now dividing the given polynomial by 2x2-3; we have;
              x2-5x+42x2-3)2x4-10x3+5x2+15x-12             2x4             -3x2                        -10x3+8x2+15x                         -10x3          +15x                                       8x2               -12                                       8x2              -12                                                   0             
Now factorising the quotient we get;
x2-5x+4 = 0x2-4x-x+4 = 0xx-4-1x-4 = 0x-1x-4 = 0x = 1 and x = 4
Therefore other two zeroes of the given polynomial are 1 and 4.
