Answer

$\pm1, \pm2, \pm3,\pm 6, \pm 9, \pm 8,\pm \frac{1}{2}, \pm \frac{3}{2},\pm \frac{9}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Given: $f(x)=2x^3+x^2-x-18$ Factors of the constant term: $\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 6, \pm 9, \pm 18$ Factors of the leading coefficient: $\pm 1, \pm 2$ Possible rational zeros: $\pm \frac{1}{1}, \pm \frac{2}{1}, \pm \frac{3}{1}, \pm \frac{6}{1}, \pm \frac{9}{1}, \pm \frac{18}{1}, \pm \frac{1}{2}, \pm \frac{2}{2}, \pm \frac{3}{2}, \pm \frac{6}{2}, \pm \frac{9}{2}, \pm \frac{18}{2}$ Simplified list of possible zeros: $\pm1, \pm2, \pm3,\pm 6, \pm 9, \pm 8,\pm \frac{1}{2}, \pm \frac{3}{2},\pm \frac{9}{2}$
