**Given the polynomial \( y = 29x - 10x^2 - 21 \):**

- **List the possible rational roots:**

To find the possible rational roots of a polynomial, you can use the Rational Root Theorem. This theorem states that any rational solution, expressed as \(\frac{p}{q}\), will have \(p\) as a factor of the constant term and \(q\) as a factor of the leading coefficient.

For the polynomial \( y = -10x^2 + 29x - 21 \):

- The constant term is \(-21\).
- The leading coefficient is \(-10\).

**Factors of the constant term (\(-21\))**:
\[
\pm 1, \pm 3, \pm 7, \pm 21
\]

**Factors of the leading coefficient (\(-10\))**:
\[
\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 5, \pm 10
\]

**Possible rational roots** (by the Rational Root Theorem) are combinations of \(\frac{p}{q}\):

\[
\pm 1, \pm \frac{1}{2}, \pm \frac{1}{5}, \pm \frac{1}{10}, \pm 3, \pm \frac{3}{2}, \pm \frac{3}{5}, \pm \frac{3}{10}, \pm 7, \pm \frac{7}{2}, \pm \frac{7}{5}, \pm \frac{7}{10}, \pm 21, \pm \frac{21}{2}, \pm \frac{21}{5}, \pm \frac{21}{10}
\]
