Use the Rational Roots Test to Find All Possible Roots 5x^3-2x^2+20x-8

$5 x^{3} - 2 x^{2} + 20 x - 8$

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.

$p = \pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 4, \pm 8$

$q = \pm 1, \pm 5$

Step 2

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

$\pm 1, \pm \frac{1}{5}, \pm 2, \pm \frac{2}{5}, \pm 4, \pm \frac{4}{5}, \pm 8, \pm \frac{8}{5}$
