The number of possible rational zeros is
Given information:
The function
Formula used:
The Rational Zero Theorem:
If
Calculation:
The divisors of the leading coefficient are:
The divisors of the constant term are:
It considered all the divisors (positive and negative).
The possible rational zeros of the function are in the form:
Count the maximum number of possible fractions of this type. This number can be obtained when
Therefore, the number of possible rational zeros is
