yknow there should be a homework help forum...

anyways... i'm pretty sure this isn't allowed, but i'm in trouble and this is my last resort. i've googled it, but i really dont understand how some sites explain it, but how would you find irrational roots to a polynomial equation without using a graphing calculator?

more specifically...

can you find all the irrational roots to this equation:
1x^8 - 5x^7 + 8x^5 + 6x^4 - 1x^3 - 9x^2 + 9x + 4

thanks.

and if you're gonna close this... can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wait until 12 midnight tonight?? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

much love,
melissa

there really should be hmwk help place. if youd posted this earlier, i could have given you the address to this live hmwk help place, but its too late for that now _dry.gif

are irrational roots like imaginary numbers? i dont know, i have a c in algebra sad.gif

well.. this is for precalc ermm.gif

but no, they're not imaginary numbers.. they're fractions.
