Use the Rational Roots Test to Find All Possible Roots f(x)=3x^4+x^3-13x^2-2x+9

$f (x) = 3 x^{4} + x^{3} - 13 x^{2} - 2 x + 9$

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.

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