. The factors of the absolute value of the constant term, -10, (which is |-10| or 10): The factors of the absolute value of the coefficient of the leading term, 3, the term with the largest exponent, which is |3| or 3: Now we make all the fractions possible using one of these 1, 2, 5, and 10 as the numerator and one of these 1 and 3 as the denominator: Reduce any of them if possible: Put ± in front of each: That's the list of all candidates for rational solutions.
