Use the Rational Zero Test to list all possible rational zeros of f(x)=4x58x45x3+10x2+x2f(x)=4x^5-8x^4-5x^3+10x^2+x-2. Verify that the zeros of f shown on the graph are continued in the list.

To know all possible rational zeros of function f, we apply the Rational Zero Test by enumerating every answer given by the equation:

 Possible rational zeros=pq~\mathrm{Possible~rational ~zeros}=\dfrac{p}{q}

where pp is a factor of the constant term and qq is a factor of the leading coefficient.
