According to the Rational Root Theorem, what are all the potential rational roots of f(x) = 15x11 – 6x8 + x3 – 4x + 3?

Respuesta :

 The possible potential root of 5x^{11} – 6x^8  + x^3 – 4x + 3 are

 p's possible values are 1 and 3
 q's possible values are 1 3 5 and 15
hope it helps

we have

[tex] f(x) = 15x^{11} -6x^{8} + x^{3} - 4x + 3 [/tex]

we know that

The Rational Root Theorem states that when a root 'x' is written as a fraction in lowest terms

[tex] x=\frac{p}{q} [/tex]

p is an integer factor of the constant term, and q is an integer factor of the coefficient of the first monomial.

So

in this problem

the constant term is equal to [tex] 3 [/tex]

and the first monomial is equal to [tex] 15x^{11} [/tex] -----> coefficient is [tex] 15 [/tex]

So

possible values of p are [tex] 1, and\ 3 [/tex]

possible values of q are [tex] 1, 3, 5, and\ 15 [/tex]

therefore

the answer is

The all potential rational roots of f(x) are

(+/-)[tex] \frac{1}{15} [/tex],(+/-)[tex] \frac{1}{5} [/tex],(+/-)[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex],(+/-)[tex] \frac{3}{5} [/tex],(+/-)[tex] 1 [/tex],(+/-)[tex] 3 [/tex]
