Question

Which of the following represents the set of possible rational routes for the polynomial shown below

2x^3+5x^2-8x-10=0

Answer 1

The given polynomial is,

2x³+5x²-8x-10=0

all possible roots of a polynomial,

ax³+b²+c x +d=0 ← all possible factors of ration (d/a)

Therefore, eq (1), all possible factors are the factors of ratio (-10/2)

which are, B) { ± 1, 1/2, ± 2, ± 5/2, ±5, ± 10}
