The potential roots of the function p(x)=[tex]x^{3}+6x^{2} -7x-60[/tex] are -10,-5,3,15.
Given function p(x)=[tex]x^{3}+6x^{2} -7x-60[/tex]
We have to find the potential roots of the function according to rational root theorem.
Root is the solution of an equation usually expressed as a number or an algebraic formula.
The rational root theorem is used to find the potential roots of function.
For a polynomial function:
p(x)=p[tex]x^{n}[/tex]+..............................+q
The potential roots are:
Roots =±factors of q/factors of p
Th factors of 60 are =±1,±2,±3,±4,±5,±6,±10,±12.
The factors of 1 is ±1.
So we have factors are:±1,±2,±3,±4,±5,±6,±10,±12,±15,±20/±1
The roots are =±1,±2,±3,±4,±5,±6,±0.
Factors:-10,-5,3,15.
Hence the potential roots are -10,-5,3,15.
Question is incomplete as it should includes options :-10,-7,-5,3,15,24
