Which of the numbers below are some potential roots of p(x) = x3 6x2 − 7x − 60 according to the rational root theorem?

Sagot :

The potential roots of the function p(x)=[tex]x^{3}+6x^{2} -7x-60[/tex] are -10,-5,3,15.

Given function p(x)=[tex]x^{3}+6x^{2} -7x-60[/tex]

We have to find the potential roots of the function according to rational root theorem.

Root is the solution of an equation usually expressed as a number or an algebraic formula.

The rational root theorem is used to find the potential roots of function.

For a polynomial function:

p(x)=p[tex]x^{n}[/tex]+..............................+q

The potential roots are:

Roots =±factors of q/factors of p

Th factors of 60 are =±1,±2,±3,±4,±5,±6,±10,±12.

The factors of 1 is ±1.

So we have factors are:±1,±2,±3,±4,±5,±6,±10,±12,±15,±20/±1

The  roots are =±1,±2,±3,±4,±5,±6,±0.

Factors:-10,-5,3,15.

Hence the potential roots are -10,-5,3,15.

Question is incomplete as it should includes options :-10,-7,-5,3,15,24
