Algebra-2

For a polynomial function , the possible rational zeros are of the form , where is a factor of the constant term and is a factor of the leading coefficient .

 

For , the leading coefficient is 3 and the constant term is -27.

 

The factors of 3 are .

The factors of -27 are .

 

So the possible rational zeros are , where is a factor of -27 and is a factor of 3.

 

The possible values for are .

The possible values for are .

 

Dividing each value of by each value of gives us:

For and , we get .

For and , we get .
