$x^{4} + x^{3} - 19 x^{2} + 11 x + 30$

Step 1

Factor $x^{4} + x^{3} - 19 x^{2} + 11 x + 30$ using the rational roots test.

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.

$p = \pm 1, \pm 30, \pm 2, \pm 15, \pm 3, \pm 10, \pm 5, \pm 6 q = \pm 1$

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

$\pm 1, \pm 30, \pm 2, \pm 15, \pm 3, \pm 10, \pm 5, \pm 6$

Substitute $- 1$ and simplify the expression. In this case, the expression is equal to $0$ so $- 1$ is a root of the polynomial.

Substitute $- 1$ into the polynomial.
