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 4.

The factors of 4 are ±1, ±2, ±4.

The factors of 3 are ±1, ±3.

So the possible rational zeros are , where  is a factor of 4 and  is a factor of 3.

When , we have  and
