PLLLEEEEEZZZ HELP ME ;) what are the possible rational zeros of f(X)=2x^3-4x^2-7x+14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by using the the rational root test ?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still there? @cassie4math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah! i think what ever gets to the answer idk how to do this problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know what does "the the rational root test" refer to ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ! kk I'll explain it to you !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The rational root theorem : is a theorem that can help us to find rational root of a polynomial functions ! rational root must be in this form \[x= \pm \frac{p}{q}\] so this theorem tell us that p is a divisor of 14 and q is a divisor of 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why 14 and 2 ?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 14 is the constant term ! (the last one) and 2is the leading coefficient [the coefficient of "the biggest degree")

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you understand ?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats thhe answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need just the answer ! I can give it to you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\pm 1 , \pm2, \pm \frac{1}{7}, \pm \frac{2}{7}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry ; for being late !
