Identify Possible Rational Zeros:

\

Usually it is not practical to test all possible zeros of a polynomial function using only synthetic substitution. The Rational Zero Theorem can be used for finding the some possible zeros to test.

\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

The factors of leading coefficient is $\"\"$ .

\

The factors of the constant term $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore, the possible rational zeros of $\"\"$ are $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

Perform synthetic substitution method by testing $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

The depressed polynomial is $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore, $\"\"$ is the factor of $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Factor the polynomial $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ does not factored.

\

$\"\"$

\

By factor theorem, when $\"\"$ then $\"\"$ is a factor of polynomial.

\

So, $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ .

\

Thus, the real zero $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ .

\

Factor form of $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

The real zero $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ .

\

Factor form of $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ .
