Step 1
The possible rational zeros are the factors of the constant term (17) divided by the factors of the leading coefficient (1). In this case, the possible rational zeros are ±1, ±17. Now, we can test these possible zeros by plugging them into the polynomial: f(1) = Show more…

Use the rational zeros theorem to find all the real zeros of the polynomial function. Use the zeros to factor f over the real numbers. f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 - 25x - 21 Find the real zeros of f. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your answer. A. x = (Simplify your answer. Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed. Use integers or fractions for any rational numbers in the expression. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) B. There are no real zeros. Use the real zeros to factor f. f(x) = (Simplify your answer. Type your answer in factored form. Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed. Use integers or fractions for any rational numbers in the expression.)
