Answer:
±1,±2,±3 and ±6
Explanation:
We make use of the Rational Zero theorem below:
If a polynomial has integer coefficients, then every rational zero of f(x) has the form p/q where p is a factor of the constant term and q is a factor of the leading coefficient.
Given the function:
[tex]f\mleft(x\mright)=-4x^4+2x^2-3x+6[/tex]The steps to follow are given below.
Step 1: Determine all factors of the constant term and all factors of the leading coefficient.
The constant term is 6: Factors are ±1,±2,±3 and ±6
The leading coefficient is -4: Factors are ±1,±2, and ±4.
Step 2: Determine all possible values of p/q.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{p}{q}=\pm\frac{1}{1},\pm\frac{2}{1},\pm\frac{2}{2},\pm\frac{3}{1},\pm\frac{6}{1},\pm\frac{6}{2} \\ =\pm1,\pm2,\pm1,\pm3,\pm6,\pm3 \\ =\pm1,\pm2,\pm3,\pm6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the potential zeros are: ±1,±2,±3 and ±6.
