Well the degree is the highest power of s in this case its 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how are you supposed to find the roots? graph perhaps or newton's method?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
give me a sec and I will try to find the roots using synthetic division.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
checked using wolframalpha and there is only one irrational root so don't bother

not sure how to do it without graphing or something. you can check the possible rational zeros, which are \[\pm 1,\pm 3\pm \frac{1}{2}. \pm\frac{3}{2}, \pm\frac{1}{4},\pm\frac{3}{4}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ha WolframAlpha rocks :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but they don't work so don't bother!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah especially for a fifth degree poly with 12 possible rational zeros. you feel like checking?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Not any more, lol
