Use the Rational Roots Test to Find All Possible Roots f(x)=55x^4-x^2+121

$f (x) = 55 x^{4} - x^{2} + 121$

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.

$p = \pm 1, \pm 11, \pm 121$

$q = \pm 1, \pm 5, \pm 11, \pm 55$

Step 2

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

$\pm 1, \pm \frac{1}{5}, \pm \frac{1}{11}, \pm \frac{1}{55}, \pm 11, \pm \frac{11}{5}, \pm 121, \pm \frac{121}{5}$
