Question 1057682: Please tell me what are all the rational zeros for the function ?

To find the RATIONAL zeros, use the Rational Roots Theorem. Make a list of all the possible roots to check, and check them using synthetic division, refactorizing each time, until you exhaust your list.

Roots to check:
The pluses and minuses of q for 1,2,3,4,6,8,16,18,24;
p for pluses and minuses of 1, 2.

You can expect to be shown as a root, and to be shown as a root. You should find no other real nor rational roots; but unsure about any multiplicities ( I resorted to Google's graphing feature).
