Algebra-2

1. First, recall the Rational Root Theorem:

For a polynomial with integer coefficients (), the possible rational roots are of the form , where is a factor of the constant term and is a factor of the leading coefficient .

 

2. Identify the values of and for the given polynomial:

Given that the leading coefficient , so the factors of are .

The constant term , so the factors of are .

 

3. Determine the possible rational roots :

When , the possible rational roots are
