Question
Use the Rational Zero Theorem to list possible rational zeros for each polynomial function.$$P(x)=2 x^{3}+x^{2}-25 x+12$$
Step 1
The constant term is 12 and the leading coefficient is 2. The factors of 12 are: $\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 4, \pm 6, \pm 12$. The factors of 2 are: $\pm 1, \pm 2$. Show more…
