Explanation:

The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial equation with integer coefficients has a rational root, then that root must be of the form p/q, where p is a factor of the constant term (in this case, 11) and q is a factor of the leading coefficient (in this case, 5).

Using this information, we can determine that the potential rational roots of the polynomial f(x) = 5x³-7x+11 are all of the following:

1/5

-1/5

11/5

-11/5

-1

11

-11

Note that this list includes all possible rational roots of the polynomial, but not all of these roots will necessarily be actual roots. To determine which of these potential rational roots are actual roots, we would need to test them by plugging them into the polynomial and solving for x.
