1. possible rational roots:
for 5x^8 -x^7 + 6x^6 - 7x + 8
..........|..�1......�2........�4........�8
...�1...|..�1......�2.......�4........�8
...�5...|.�1/5..�2/5....�4/5....�8/5
..
2.Using rational roots theory
f(x)= x^3 + x^2 -15x + 25
....0...|....1......1.....-15......25
..-5...|....1....-4.......5.........0
f(x)=(x+5)(x^2-4x+5)
f(x)=(x+5)(x-5)(x+1)
Other roots are: -1 and 5
