Question

According to the Rational Root Theorem, what are all the potential rational roots of f(x) = 5x3 – 7x + 11?

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation:

Edge let me know if i am right

Answer 2

we have been asked to find the potential roots of the function

`f(x) = 5x^3-7x + 11`

using rational root theorem.

Here the constant term is 11 with factors 1 and 11 and the leading coefficients is 5 with factors 1 and 5.

So the potential roots of the given function as per the rational root theorem is

`\pm(1,11)/(1,5) =\pm(1)/(1,5) ,\pm(11)/(1,5)=\pm(1)/(1) ,\pm(11)/(1)\pm(1)/(5) ,\pm(11)/(5)\\\\\\\text{Hence the potential roots are }\\\\\pm1,\pm11,\pm(1)/(5),\pm(11)/(5)`
