Answer:
Explanation:
The Rational Zeroes Theorem states that if a polynomial equation has a rational solution (a solution that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers), then that rational solution must be of the form p/q, where p is a factor of the constant term (in this case 36) and q is a factor of the leading coefficient (in this case 4).
Step 1: Find the factors of 36. The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36.
Step 2: For each factor of 36, divide it by each factor of 4 to get a list of possible rational solutions.
Step 3: Test each of the possible rational solutions by plugging them into the polynomial equation and seeing if they make the equation equal to zero. If a solution makes the equation equal to zero, it is a root of the polynomial.
Step 4: Once you have found all of the roots of the polynomial, you can use them to write the polynomial in factored form.
Note: This method only works for polynomials with real coefficients and will only give you the real solutions of the equation. If the polynomial has complex solutions, you will need to use a different method to find them.
