Give all possible rational zero for the following polynomial. 
P(x) = 6x3 + 24x2 + 2x - 3

Expert Solution
Step 1

Give all possible rational zero for the following polynomial. 

P(x) 6r3+24x2+ 2x - 3
Step 2

Here we find the all possible rational roots.

We use the concept of Rational root test.

It state that, 

Suppose we have some polynomial P(x)P\left( x \right) with integer coefficients and a nonzero constant term:

f(x) a"a
+...+ajx+a
here
a0
&
Then every rational root of fx) is of the form
p_+(factors of a)
q +(factors of a,
Step 3

Factors of -3 is p

factors of 6 is q.

 

P(x) 6x324x2+ 2x - 3
q 1,12,13, +6
steps
