Question

The rational roots of a polynomial function F(x) can be written in the form p/q,

Answer 1

ANSWER

True

EXPLANATION

According to the Rational Roots Theorem,the rational roots of a polynomial function F(x) can be written in the form

$\frac{p}{q}$

,

where p is a factor of the constant term of the polynomial, and q is a factor of the leading coefficient.

The polynomial must be written in standard form.

This means the polynomial must be written in descending powers of x.

The leading term is the first term of a polynomial written in standard form.

The constant term is the term independent of x.
