Use the Rational Zeros Theorem to list possible rational zeros for
P(X) = 4X^4 - 3X^3 + 2X^2 - 6.
------------
Rational Zeros are of the form p/q.
p must be a divisor of -6: +-1, +-2, +-3, +-6
q must be a divisor of 4 : +-1, +-2, +-4
----------
You need to list all the possible p/q using these choices:
+-1,+-2,+-3,+-6,
+-1/2,+-3/2,+-1/4, +-3/4,
