Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is:

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which function has the same set of potential rational roots as the function g(x) = 3x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 12?

A).f(x) = 3x5 – 2x4 – 9x3 + x2 – 12

B).f(x) = 3x6 – 2x5 + 9x4 – x3 + 12x

C).f(x) = 12x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 3

D).f(x) = 12x5 – 8x4 + 36x3 – 4x2 + 48

Solution:

The function given to us is:

3x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 12

Find the factors of 12 and consider it as 'p'

The factors of 12 are:

p = +/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6

Now find the factors of 3 and consider it as 'q'

The factors of 3 are:

q = +/- 1 , +/- 3

We know that we write rational terms in p/q form.

Therefore the Rational roots are given by p/q

+/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6 , +/- 1/3 , +/- 2/3 , +/- 4/3

Now we will solve the first function given in part A.

f(x) = 3x^5 – 2x^4 - 9x^3 + x^2 - 12

Again find the factors of 12 and consider it as 'p'

The factors are:

p = +/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6

Now find the factors of 3 and consider it as 'q' .

q = +/- 1 , +/- 3

Rational root are given by p/q

+/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6 , +/- 1/3 , +/- 2/3 , +/- 4/3

Therefore the rational roots of the given function matches the rational roots of the given equation.

Hence the correct option is A
