Explanation Given: The polynomial is P ( x ) = 21 x 4 + 13 x 3 − 103 x 2 − 65 x − 10 . Concept used: Factor theorem: A polynomial P ( x ) is divided by x − k , the remainder is equal to P ( k ) . Rational Zeros Theorem: “Let P ( x ) = a n x n + a n − 1 x n − 1 + ⋯ + a 1 x + a 0 , where a n ≠ 0 and a 0 ≠ 0 , be a polynomial function with integer coefficients. If p q is a rational number written in lowest terms, and if p q is a zero of P ( x ) , then p is a factor of the constant term a 0 , and q is a factor of the leading coefficient a n .” Calculation: Consider the polynomial P ( x ) = 21 x 4 + 13 x 3 − 103 x 2 − 65 x − 10 In above polynomial, constant term is − 10 .and coefficient of x 4 is 21 . The factors of − 10 are ± 1 , ± 2 , ± 5 , ± 1 0 and for 21 are ± 1 , ± 3 , ± 7 , ± 2 1 . It means p = ± 1 , ± 2 , ± 5 , ± 1 0 and q = ± 1 , ± 3 , ± 7 , ± 2 1 . By Rational Zeros Theorem, divide p by q as follows: p q = ± 1 , 2 , 5 , 10 1 , 3 , 7 , 21 = ± 1 , ± 2 , ± 5 , ± 10 , ± 5 21 , ± 5 7 , ± 5 3 , ± 2 21 , ± 2 7 , ± 2 3 , ± 10 21 , ± 10 7 , ± 10 3 , ± 1 21 , ± 1 7 , ± 1 3 Choose x = − 2 7 to divide polynomial P ( x ) = 21 x 4 + 13 x 3 − 103 x 2 − 65 x − 10 synthetically as follows: − 2 7 21 13 − 103 − 65 − 10 − 6 �
