Question 883393: "Give all possible rational zeros for the polynomial f%28x%29=x%5E3-9x%5E2%2B6x-24
Im stuck between 2 choices:
A. 1, 1/2, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 (all +-)
B. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 (all +-)
I think the 1/2 should be there when dealing with rational zeros arent you supposed to use all pertinent combinations? Am i missing something?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are looking for all factors of 1 and -24
How does 1/2 fit in? What would go with it?
