Polynomial Roots Calculator :
4.1 Â Â Find roots (zeroes) of : Â Â Â F(x) = 2x4+3x3-2x2-3x-6
Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of  x  for which  F(x)=0 Â
Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers  x  which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers
The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number  P/Q  then  P  is a factor of the Trailing Constant and  Q  is a factor of the Leading Coefficient
In this case, the Leading Coefficient is  2  and the Trailing Constant is  -6.
The factor(s) are:
of the Leading Coefficient : Â 1,2
of the Trailing Constant : Â 1 ,2 ,3 ,6
Let us test

   3    2     1.50     5.25  Â
   6    1     6.00     3144.00  Â
The Factor Theorem states that if P/Q is root of a polynomial then this polynomial can be divided by q*x-p Note that q and p originate from P/Q reduced to its lowest terms
In our case this means that
 2x4+3x3-2x2-3x-6
can be divided with  x+2

By     :   x+2   ("Divisor")
dividend   2x4  +  3x3  -  2x2  -  3x  -  6
- divisor  * 2x3   2x4  +  4x3      Â
remainder    -  x3  -  2x2  -  3x  -  6
- divisor  * -x2    -  x3  -  2x2    Â
remainder        -  3x  -  6
- divisor  * 0x1          Â
remainder        -  3x  -  6
- divisor  * -3x0        -  3x  -  6
