The function is $\"\"$ .

\

Identify Possible Rational Zeros of $\"\"$ :

\

Usually it is not practical to test all possible zeros of a polynomial function using only synthetic

\

substitution. The Rational Zero Theorem can be used for finding the some possible zeros to test.

\

The polynomial function is $\"\"$ .

\

Use rational zero theorem to find the potential rational zeros of a polynomial function.

\

If $\"\"$ is the rational zero, then $\"\"$ is factor of the constant term $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ is factor of the leading coefficient $\"\"$ .

\

The possible values of $\"\"$ are $\"\"$ .

\

The possible values of $\"\"$ are $\"\"$ .

\

Now form all possible ratios of $\"\"$ are $\"\"$ .
