Question

To find the possible roots of the polynomial 4x3 + x4 – 7x2 – 8x - 8

Answer 1

The complete statement is divide factors of ± 8 by factors of ± 1

How to complete the statement?

The polynomial is given as:

4x^3 + x^4 - 7x^2 - 8x - 8

Rewrite properly as:

x^4 + 4x^3 - 7x^2 - 8x - 8

The first term in the above equation is 1 i.e. 1x^4, while the last term is 8

To determine the possible rational roots, we divide the factors of the last term i.e. 8 by the factors of the first term i.e. 1

Hence, the complete statement is divide factors of ± 8 by factors of ± 1
