To find: The rational zeros of the function
Answer to Problem 24E
The function has only one rational zero at x=3.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Concept used:
To find rational zeros of the function having leading coefficient 1. In this type of function, the rational zeros are the factors of the constant term.
Consider the given polynomial equation as follows:
Factor of the constant term can be written as,
Then the possible zeros;
Check for zero:
Thus, from the above explaination the function has only one rational zero at x=3.
