Help with this last question

Answer 1

this is literally 5 questions

Answer 2

Its a four,five part question :/

Answer 3

well the instructions are somewhat self-explanatory

part I) a and b, find the constant term (the number not being multiplied to a variable), and then list all of its factors

part II) repeat the same thing with the leading coefficient

part III) apply the rational root theorem, list all combinations of (factor from part II)/(factor from part I)

Answer 4

5 for a

Answer 5

leading coefficient is 4

Answer 6

@563blackghost

Answer 7

it also asks to list out the factors

Answer 8

factors of 5 and 4

Answer 9

or x-5?

Answer 10

factors of 5 and 4

Answer 11

factors of 5 are 1 and 5

Answer 12

keep going for 4

Answer 13

1,2,4

Answer 14

good, now we find all the possible roots by listing every combination of (factor from Ib)/(factor from IIb) including +/- signs

so

factors from Ib) ±1,±5
factors from 2b) ±1, ±2, ±4

so ±1/1, ±5/1, ±5/2, etc. until all possibilities are exhausted

Answer 15

should be 6 total

Answer 16

so +-1/+-4 +-1/+-2

Answer 17

good, keep going

Answer 18

+-5/+-4

Answer 19

good

so

±1/1, ±1/2, ±1/4, ±5/1, ±5/2, ±5/4 are the 6 possibilities
