Question
Find all rational zeros of the polynomial, and write the polynomial in factored form.$$P(x)=x^{3}-3 x-2$$
Step 1
The rational root theorem states that the possible rational zeros of a polynomial are all the factors of the constant term divided by all the factors of the leading coefficient. In this case, the constant term is -2 and the leading coefficient is 1. The factors of Show more…
