Answer:
If a polynomial function has integer coefficients, then every rational zero will have the form pq p q where p p is a factor of the constant and q q is a factor
Step-by-step explanation:
Using synth. div. to check whether or not 7/2 is a root:
___________________________
7/2 / 6 -21 -4 24 -35
21 0 -14 35
----------- ------------------------------
6 0 -4 10 0
Because the remainder is zero, 7/2 (or 3.5) is a root of the polynomial. Thus, (x-3.5), or (x-7/2), is a factor.
