Question

Determine the possible rational zeros of this polynomial function using the rational zeros theorem:

p(x) = 4x4 + 13x3 – 49x2 – 73x –15

Answer 1

See answer below

Explanation:

The possible zeroes are p/q where p is factors of the constant and q is factors of the coefficient of the largest degree.

This means possible zeroes are ±15/4, ±5/4, ±3/4, ±1/4, ±15/2, ±5/2, ±3/2, ±1/2, ±15, ±5, ±3, ±1.
