    Section 2.5
    Question 36

    Part (a)

    Possible Rational Zeros:

    ±1, ±3, ±5, ±15, ±1/2, ±1/4, ±3/2, ±3/4, ±5/2, ±15/2
    ± 15/4

    Part (b)

    Part (c)

    The work here is very lengthy. Basically, repeat synthetic division until all zeros are found.

    Zeros: x = -1, x = 3/2, x = 5/2

    You say?
