To determine: The number of possible rational zeros of the polynomial function.
There are
Given information:
A polynomial function:
Formula used:
As per Rational Zero Theorem, the possible rational zeros for any function with integer coefficients can be obtained by dividing factors of leading coefficient of highest degree term with factors of the constant term as:
Calculation:
The leading coefficient is
Factors of
Now simplify the fractions and remove the duplicates as:
Therefore, there are
