Work Step by Step

Given: $f(x)=x^3+7x^2+2x+14$ Factors of the leading coefficient: $\pm 1, \pm2,\pm3,\pm 6$ Factors of the constant term:$\pm 1, \pm 5$ Possible rational zeros: $\pm\frac{1}{1}, \pm\frac{5}{1}, \pm\frac{1}{2}, \pm\frac{5}{2},\pm\frac{1}{3}, \pm\frac{5}{3},\pm\frac{1}{6}, \pm\frac{5}{6}$ Simplified list of possible zeros: $\pm 1, \pm5,\pm\frac{1}{2}, \pm\frac{5}{2},\pm\frac{1}{3}, \pm\frac{5}{3},\pm\frac{1}{6}, \pm\frac{5}{6}$ The error is: Numerator and denominator candidates were reversed.
