It could be any number that is 4 and under
It is
11, 1/2, -2
because a rational number is part of a whole expressed as a fraction, decimal or a percentage. Hope this helps!

*Note:
<em>Please excuse my bad handwriting :)</em>
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify</em>
p(x) = x³ - 21x - 20
Linear factor (x - 5)
<u>Step 2: Factor</u>
<em>Option 1: Factoring cubes formula</em>
- Factor [Factoring Cubes]: p(x) = (x - 5)(x² + 5x + 4)
- Factor: p(x) = (x - 5)(x + 4)(x + 1)
