Question

Use the Rational Root Theorem to list all possible rational roots of the polynomial equation 2x^3+5x^2-8x+6=0. Do not find the actual roots.

Answer 1

Ok the rational roots theorem is the factors of the last term over the factors of the first term so the possible roots are

6/1 -6/1 6/2 -6/2 3/2 -3/2 2/2 -2/2 1/2 -1/2 1/1 -1/1
