Question

Based on the P's and Q's of this polynomial (The Rational Zero Theorem), which of the following could NOT be a zero of the polynomial 4x3 + 4x2 - 11x-6?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

P are the factors of the last coefficient (6) and Q are the factors of the first coefficient (4). Since p is divided by q, we could have 3/1, 6/1, 2/1, and 1/1, but not 4/1 since 4 is not a factor of 6
