anonymous · Answer

familiar wid rational root theorem  ?

anonymous · Answer

my teacher mention it but never really explain

anonymous · Answer

okay it says this :-
```
rational roots of  any polynomial will be of form   p/q
p = factors of constant term
q = factors of leading coefficient
```

anonymous · Answer

f(x)=2x^3+7x^2+2x-8

constant term = p = 8
leading coefficient = q = 2

anonymous · Answer

wat are the factors of 8 ?
wat are the factors of 2 ?

anonymous · Answer

8 are 2 and 4

anonymous · Answer

2 are 2 and 1
