Question

nnesha · Answer

I guess that's also knwn as  p over q method hm

anonymous · Answer

I got two solutions which were 1 and 5, but I'm not sure which one is the "Rational solution"

nnesha · Answer

what is the constant term
 and leading coefficient s what ?

nnesha · Answer

find all factors of constant term and of leading coefficient 
and then you have to apply the synthetic division method to check which one is the solution of that equation
