The possible rational roots/zeros of a polynomial are all the possible combinations, positive and negative, of factors of the constant term (at the end) over the factors of the leading coefficient.

\n" ); document.write( "You constant term is 3 which has factors of 1 and 3 and your leading coefficient (in front of the x^5) is 1. So your possible rational roots/zeros are:
\n" ); document.write( "3/1, -3/1, 1/1 and -1/1
\n" ); document.write( "which simply to
\n" ); document.write( "3, -3, 1 and -1 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
