FIND ALL ROOTS
List all possible rational zeroes of the function--- 5x^7-7x^3+12x-4
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If p/q is a rational root of the polynomial,
p is a factor of -4 such as +/-1, +/-2, +/-4
and q is a factor of 5 such as +/-1, +/-5
-------------------------------------------------
So check out +/-1. +/-2, +/-4, +/-1/5, +/-2/5, +/-4/5
--------------------
If none of these is a root, there are no rational roots.
-------------------------------
I do not find any rational roots.
I do find a root around x = 0.36028589....
