According to the Rational Root Theorem, which could be a factor of the polynomial f(x) = 6x4 – 21x3 – 4x2 + 24x – 35?

Question

campbell_st · Answer

well list the positive and negative factors of constant 35

then divide them by the positive and negative factors of the coefficient of the leading term... 6

and that will give the possible zeros of the polynomial

Good job, Campbell, you did nothing wrong.

campbell_st · Answer

well it seems you have a list of choices... 

so the factors of -35 are 

$$\pm1, \pm5, \pm7, \pm35$$

the factors of 6 are 

$$\pm 1, \pm2, \pm3, \pm6$$

so find an answer... that's is a solution to the factors of -35 divided by the factors of 6
