Use the Rational Roots Test to Find All Possible Roots f(x)=x^4+x^3-7x^2-5x+10

$f (x) = x^{4} + x^{3} - 7 x^{2} - 5 x + 10$

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.

$p = \pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 5, \pm 10$

$q = \pm 1$

Step 2

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

$\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 5, \pm 10$
