Question

Given: f(x) = x2 + 7x + 10. From the Rational Root Theorem, we know p=10 and q=1. List all potential roots using the ratio p/q.

Answer 1

There are 8 roots

1,2,5,10,-1,-2,-5,-10

Explanation:

The rational root theorem says take all the factors of p over all the factors of q

p = 1,2,5,10

q = 1

roots ± 1,2,5,10
