Answer:
9. ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6
11. ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12
Step-by-step explanation:
The possible rational roots are (plus or minus) the divisors of the constant term, divided by the divisors of the leading coefficient.
Here, the leading coefficient is 1 in each case, so the possible rational roots are plus or minus a divisor of the constant term.
