Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Possible roots to check are plus and minus of 1, 7, 11, using synthetic division. Look for division remainders of 0.
-1, YES.
1, NO.
-7, NO.
7, YES.
-11, YES.
Three YES's for three rational roots found for third degree polynomial function.
