how do you use the Rational Zeros Theorem to write a list of all potential rational zeros f(x) = 2x3 - 5x2 + 7x - 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be ±1, ±2, ±3, ±3/2 because we do the p over q thing?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

f(x) = 2x3 - 5x2 + 7x - 3 ^ ^ leading coefficient constant yes, the p/q thing =)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

±1, ±2, ±3, ±3/2 <-- is correct for the possible roots

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i was correct :) thank you

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yw

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm .. actually the 2 can't be in the numerator

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

it'd be 1/2 no 2 though, the others are ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so.... ±1, ±3, ±1/2, ±3/2

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yes

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

2 is a factor of "q"

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so it'd be in the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yw
