Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, please consider the following.
The polynomial function is
The rational root theorem states that each rational solution
, written in irreducible fraction, satisfies the two following:
p is a factor of the constant term
q is a factor of the leading coefficient
In this example, the constant term is 14 and the leading coefficient is 1. It means that p is a factor of 14 and q a factor of 1.
Let's proceed with the prime factorisation of 14:
14 = 2 * 7
Finally, the possible rational roots of this expression are :
1
2
7
14
and we need to test for negative ones too
-1
-2
-7
-14
From your list, the correct answer is 7.
Hope this helps.
Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.
