3. Rational Zero Theorem

4. Ex. List all the possible zeros of f using the rational zero theorem.
f(x) = x3 + 2x2 – 11x + 12
f(x) = 4x4 – x3 – 3x2 + 9x - 10

5. Ex. a. List the possible rational zeros of f using the rational zero theorem: f(x) = x3 + 9x2 + 23x + 15
b. Test the list of possible zeros to find actual zeros.

6. Ex. Find all real zeros of f(x) = x3 – 8x2 + 11x + 20

7. Ex. Use the graph to shorten the list of possible rational zeros of the function. Then find all real zeros of the function.
