Use the Rational Roots Test to Find All Possible Roots 8x^3-10x^2-7x-1=0

$8 x^{3} - 10 x^{2} - 7 x - 1 = 0$

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.

$p = \pm 1$

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

Step 2

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

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