The first term is x^3 with coefficient 1. Let's call this p = 1
The last term is 36, so we'll call this q = 36

To find all of the possible rational roots or zeros, we divide each factor of q over each factor of p

Factors of p = 1:
-1 and 1

Factors of q = 36: 
-1, 1,
-2, 2
-3, 3
-4, 4
-6, 6
-9,9
-12, 12
-18,18
-36,36

As you can see there's a lot of possible roots. Luckily, p = 1 so that means we simply need to list the factors of q (the plus and minus versions)

The possible rational roots are listed above when I listed all the possible factors of q. Those are the possible x values that make f(x) equal to 0. You need to plug each of those values into f(x) to see which result in 0. It turns out that only x = -4 leads to f(x) = 0 being true. None of the other possible rational roots are actual rational roots.

Why is it that the orthocenter of an obtuse triangle must lie on the outside of the triangle?
Taya2010 [7]
It is important to understand the meaning of orthocenter in respect to a triangle first. Ii is actually the intersection of all the altitudes within a triangle. The altitudes can be drawn from an angle to the opposite side but the line should create a right angle with the side of the triangle. In case of obtuse triangle, the three lines would meet outside the triangle. I hope the answer helps.
