I need to identify all of the real roots of the polynomial equation x^3+6x^2-5x-30=0 by using the rational root theorem.
***
p(x)=x^3+6x^2-5x-30
factors of p=30:�1,�2,�3,�5,�6,�10,�15,�30
factors of q=�1
Possible rational roots (p/q): �1,�2,�3,�5,�6,�10,�15,�30
Finding roots by synthetic division
0)......1......6......-5......-30
1)......1......7.......2.......-28
2)......1......8.......11......-8
3)......1......9.......22......36 (3 is upper bound)
-2)....1......4.....-13......-4
-3)....1......3.....-14......12
-6)....1......0......-5........0 (-6 is a root)
p(x)=(x+6)(x^2-5)
x^2-5=0
x=�√5
p(x)=(x+6)(x-√5)(x+√5)
Roots: -6, √5, -√5
