Use the Rational Roots Test to Find All Possible Roots f(x)=4x^4-3x^3-9x^2+6x+2

$f (x) = 4 x^{4} - 3 x^{3} - 9 x^{2} + 6 x + 2$

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.

$p = \pm 1, \pm 2$

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

Step 2

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

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