What are the possible rational zeros of

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The factors of the constant term divided by the factors of the coefficient of the leading term. The leading term is x^4 and its coefficient is 1. So the possible rational roots are the factors of 12.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

none

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are no rational roots.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

± 1, ± 2, ± 3, ± 4, ± 6, ± 12 ± 1, ± 2, ± 3, ± 4, ± 5, ± 6, ± 7, ± 8, ± 9, ± 10, ± 11, ± 12 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 these are the choices

OpenStudy (mertsj):

@ hisham1 The problem asks for the possible rational roots. Not whether or not there are any.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Is 7 a factor of 12?
