If 5/6 is a rational root of a polynomial equation, then what binomial is a factor of the polynomial?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

1) Don't post problem with no work shown. 2) If 'a' is a root, then (x-a) is a factor.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i know i have to work backwards to get the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (x-5/6)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

5/6? 0_o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a fraction 5 over 6

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

5/4 Maybe, then, multiply by 4 and get a slightly different appearance.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/4 times 4 is 10/3 unless you want me to do (x-5/60 times 4 which is 4x-10/3

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

No, 4(x - 5/4) = 4x - 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh sorry!! i typed the question wrong its suppose to be 5/6 not 5/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6(x-5/6) = 6x-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what to do next

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

We don't know THAT had to be done. You have not shown the options.
