If f(x)=3x^3+5x^2+x-1,what would be the p/q list of possible rational roots?
Arrange your list from smallest to largest. Please help me!!

If fx3x35x2x1what would be the pq list of possible rational roots Arrange your list from smallest to largest Please help me class=

Answer:

  {-1, -1/3, 1/3, 1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible rational roots are ...

  ±(divisor of constant)/(divisor of leading coefficient)

Here, that means the rational roots are ...

  ±p/q where p ∈ {1}, and q ∈ {1, 3}

That is, they can be ±1/1 or ±1/3. Arranged from smallest to largest, they are ...

  -1, -1/3, 1/3, 1

_____

A graph shows the roots to be -1 (multiplicity 2) and (+1/3). Then the function factors as ...

  f(x) = (3x -1)(x +1)²
