Use the Rational Roots Test to Find All Possible Roots 2x^4-7x^3-17x^2+58x-24

$2 x^{4} - 7 x^{3} - 17 x^{2} + 58 x - 24$

Step 1

If a polynomial function has integer coefficients, then every rational zero will have the form $\frac{p}{q}$ where $p$ is a factor of the constant and $q$ is a factor of the leading coefficient.

$p = \pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 4, \pm 6, \pm 8, \pm 12, \pm 24$

$q = \pm 1, \pm 2$

Step 2

Find every combination of $\pm \frac{p}{q}$ . These are the possible roots of the polynomial function.

$\pm 1, \pm \frac{1}{2}, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm \frac{3}{2}, \pm 4, \pm 6, \pm 8, \pm 12, \pm 24$
