Consider the following polynomial.
\[ G(x) = x^4 - 5x^3 + 2x^2 + 20x - 24 \]
Step 1 of 2: Use the Rational Zero Theorem to list all of the potential rational zeros.
Answer
Enter only the positive values. Separate multiple answers with commas.
\[ \pm ( \quad ) \]
Solution
Step 1 Apply the Rational Zero Theorem. \[ \text{Possible rational zeros} = \pm \frac{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24}{1} & \] Since only positive values are required, the potential rational zeros are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
