Answer

$-3, -1, 1, 3$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: The possible rational zeros of a polynomial function is given by $\dfrac{p}{q}$ where: $p$ = factor of the constant term $q$ = factor of the leading coefficient The given polynomial function has: constant term = $3$ leading coefficient = $1$ The factors of the constant term are: $\pm1, \pm3$ The factors of the leading coefficient are: $\pm 1$ Thus, the possible rational zeros of the given polynomial function are: $\pm 1, \pm 3$
