Use the Rational Roots Test to Find All Possible Roots 2x^5-5x^4+x^3+x^2-x+6

$2 x^{5} - 5 x^{4} + x^{3} + x^{2} - x + 6$

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.

$p = \pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 6$

$q = \pm 1, \pm 2$

Step 2

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

$\pm 1, \pm \frac{1}{2}, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm \frac{3}{2}, \pm 6$
