For the polynomial g(x) = x³ + 5x² - 12x - 60, use the Rational Zeros Theorem to list all possible rational zeros of the polynomial. Then identify all roots of the polynomial.

Possible rational roots: +/-

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60, 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, 15/2, 1/3, 2/3, 4/3, 5/3, 10/3, 20/3
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60, 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, 15/2
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60
1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30

Give a comma-separated list of all the zeros (real or complex) of the polynomial:

Hint: Remember to enter an irrational number, either use the math quill option (the up arrow to the right of the answer key) or the code sqrt(#)
