how do I put x^4-15x^2-10x+24 into standard form? Please help!

OpenStudy (mertsj):

It is in standard form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I meant factored form, sorry.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Use the rational roots theorem to list the possible rational roots then use substitution or synthetic division to find one that is an actual root.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what? I haven't the slightest clue what that is

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What class are you taking?

So have you learned that the possible roots are the factors of 24, the constant term, divided by the factors of the coefficient of the x^4 term?
