Answer: The all possible rational roots are x=\pm1,\pm2,\pm3,\pm4,\pm6,\pm12,\pm\frac{1}{2},\pm\frac{3}{2},\pm\frac{1}{4},\pm\frac{3}{4},\pm\frac{1}{10},\pm\frac{1}{5},\pm\frac{3}{5}\pm\frac{3}{10},\pm\frac{2}{5},\pm\frac{6}{5},\pm\frac{1}{20},\pm\frac{3}{20},\pm\frac{4}{5},\pm\frac{12}{5}.

Explanation:

The given polynomial is,

f(x)=20x^4+x^3+8x^2+x-12

The Rational Root Theorem states that the all possible roots of a polynomial are in the form of a rational number,

x=\frac{p}{q}

Where p is a factor of constant term and q is the factor of coefficient of leading term.

In the given polynomial the constant is -12 and the leading coefficient is 20.

All possible factor of -12 are \pm1,\pm2,\pm3,\pm4,\pm6,\pm12.

All possible factor of 20 are \pm1,\pm2,\pm4,\pm5,\pm10,\pm20.

So, the all possible rational roots of the given polynomial are,

x=\pm1,\pm2,\pm3,\pm4,\pm6,\pm12,\pm\frac{1}{2},\pm\frac{3}{2},\pm\frac{1}{4},\pm\frac{3}{4},\pm\frac{1}{10},\pm\frac{1}{5},\pm\frac{3}{5}\pm\frac{3}{10},\pm\frac{2}{5},\pm\frac{6}{5},\pm\frac{1}{20},\pm\frac{3}{20},\pm\frac{4}{5},\pm\frac{12}{5}

What are two ratios that are equivalent to 27:9
skad [1K]
For this case we have the following relationship:
 27:9
 To find two equivalent relationships, what we must do is divide both numbers by a number that is multiple of both.
 We then have to divide by three:
 9:3
 Then, dividing again between three we have:
 3:1
 Answer:
 two ratios that are equivalent to 27:9 are:
 Ratio 1:
 9:3
 Ratio 2:
 3:1
