Question

The rational roots of a polynomial function f(x) can be written in the form p/q where p is a factor of the leading coefficent of the polynomial and q is a factor of the constant term.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

The correct answer for the exercise shown above is th second option (Option B), which is:

 B. False

 The explanation is shown below:

 1. By a theorem known as "The rational root theorem", you have that the rational roots of a polynomial function f(x) can be written in the form p/q where "p" is the factor of the constant term of the polynomial and "q" is the factor of the leading coefficient of the polynomial.

 2. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is the option mentioned above.
