Any rational zero can be found through this formula

where p and q are the factors of the last and first coefficients


So let's list the factors of 6 (the last coefficient of ):



Now let's list the factors of 12 (the first coefficient of ):



Now let's divide each factor of the last coefficient by each factor of the first coefficient









Now simplify

These are all the distinct rational zeros of the function that could occur (remember these are all possible zeros)
