Q^n + k^(n-1).... + P = 0
Like: 3x^3+9x-6=0

All rational roots will be rational factors of P/Q such that:

Q = 3 Factors: 1,3
P = -6 Factors: [+/-] 1,2,3,6

Possible Rational Roots: [1/1,1/3,2/1,2/3,3/1,3/3,6/1,6/3] = [+/-] 1,1/3,2,2/3,3,6

Now you just test them in the equation itself and where the input makes the function equal 0, you have a root.

For this polynomial, no roots are rational, so when you test it you'll find that it must only contain irrational roots and may only be solved by other means.

What is the solution of x+4/2x-1<0
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

\large\boxed{ -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain:\ 2x-1\neq0\to x\neq\dfrac{1}{2}

\dfrac{x+4}{2x-1}

(x+4)(2x-1)=(x)(2x)+....=2x^2+...\to 2>0\\\\\text{therefore the parabola is op}\text{en up}

\text{Look at the picture.}
