Find the possible rational roots of the equation.
Answer to Problem 32SGA
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
Here, we have:
Now, according to the rational root theorem, if
Thus,
The possible values of p:
The possible values of
The possible rational roots
Now, we know that all the possible rational roots fall in the domain
Thus, set the
Now, graph the function:
Now, by synthetic division method:
Therefore,
Now, solving for
The other roots are
The roots of the equation are
Hence, the rational root of the equation is
