Use the Rational Roots Test to Find All Possible Roots 3x^4+5x^3-2x^2+x-9=0

$3 x^{4} + 5 x^{3} - 2 x^{2} + x - 9 = 0$

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.

$p = \pm 1, \pm 3, \pm 9$

$q = \pm 1, \pm 3$

Step 2

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

$\pm 1, \pm \frac{1}{3}, \pm 3, \pm 9$
