Use the Rational Roots Test to Find All Possible Roots f(x)=3x^12-17x^8+11x^4-6x+23

$f (x) = 3 x^{12} - 17 x^{8} + 11 x^{4} - 6 x + 23$

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.

$p = \pm 1, \pm 23$

$q = \pm 1, \pm 3$

Step 2

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

$\pm 1, \pm \frac{1}{3}, \pm 23, \pm \frac{23}{3}$
