Answer:

None of them work

Explanation:

According to the theorem, the rational zeros are of the form p/q, where p is a factor of the constant term (4 in this case) and q is a factor of the leading coefficient (1 in this case).


(P)/(q) =
(1,2,4)/(1) = ± (1,2,4)

Subtitute in and none of them work.
