Question

help !!!!

Answer 1

use the p/q method
where \[\large\rm \frac{ p }{ q}= \frac{\pm ~~all~factors ~of~constant~term}{\pm~~all~factors ~of ~leading ~coefficient }\]

Answer 2

the leading coefficient is 8 and 10 right?

Answer 3

there should be only one leading coefficient
coefficient of the highest degree variable

Answer 4

10?

Answer 5

what's the highest degree (exponent ) ??

Answer 6

8 sorry

Answer 7

yes correct write all factors of 8 and factors of constant term

Answer 8

3x^4+10x^3-11x^2-10x / 8?

Answer 9

no. what's the constant term in that function ?

Answer 10

x?

Answer 11

that's the variable
what would be the leading coefficient and constant term?
here is an example \[4x^2+3x+9\]
4 is leading coefficient(coefficient of highest degree variable )
cosntant term is 9( number without any variable )

Answer 12

constant*

Answer 13

8 is the constant

Answer 14

correct and leading coefficient is ?

Answer 15

11x^2

Answer 16

what's the highest exponent in that function ?
if u look at my example it was 2 so that's how leading coefficient was 4
\[\large \rm Ax^5+Bx^3+C\]in this example highest exponent is 5 leading coefficient is `A`

Answer 17

3x^4

Answer 18

that's the term
where just 3 is leading coefficient and
now what are the factors of 8 and 3 ?

Answer 19

@Nnesha is correct. Here is a slightly different way to look at it

Answer 20

you divide 8/3?

Answer 21

question (not to interrupt) does not ask for the "possible" rational zeros, it asks for the zeros

Answer 22

no divide factors of 8 by the factors of of 3
i know they r looking for real zero so she can just graph it

Answer 23

it is not necessary to list all possible rational zeros of this, in fact it is mostly a waste of time
you want to find the actual zeros, not the possible rational ones, as there are many

Answer 24

unless you want to make a to see which ones to check

Answer 25

"make a list"

Answer 26

@satellite73 the idea is to generate all the possible rational roots

then you check each possible root in f(x). If f(x) = 0, then you have a true actual root

it might be easier just to go through your answer choices

Answer 27

i would certainly say so!!

Answer 28

huh?

Answer 29

you have choices right? check which ones work

Answer 30

how do i check?

Answer 31

plug in the number

Answer 32

see if you get zero

Answer 33

?

Answer 34

zeros (or x-intercept ) point when graph intersect the x-axis when y=0
so you can substitute given points for x if you get 0 as final answer then that number would be the zero
