OpenStudy (anonymous):

The 8 you have are right. However, you're missing two others that aren't integers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*4 others (with + and -)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes hold on let me give you all my numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6,-3,-2,-1,1,2,-3,6 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[R(x)=2x^5+5x^3+6x^2-6\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, that's what I said was correct. But there are 4 non-integers (fractions) that you're missing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am I missing a fraction 1/2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure what to do next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, that's one of the two fractions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, sure. Can you first tell me how you got these answers? Because I have the answer, but my method may be different.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
