You can put this solution on YOUR website!
please help me find a list of possible rational roots for this equation:
2x^3-3x^2-17x+30=0
The possible rational roots are of the form p/q
where p is a factor of 30: +-1,+-2,+-3,+-5,+-6,+-10,+-15,+-30
and q is a factor of 2:+-1,+-2
------------------------------------
List all those fractions and you will have a list of all possible rational roots.
