The potential roots of the function are, [tex]\pm1, \ \pm3, \ \pm5, \ \pm9,\ \pm15, \ \pm45,\ \pm \dfrac{1}{3},\ \pm \dfrac{5}{3}[/tex]

And the accurate root is 3 it can be determined by using rules of the rational root equation.

Given that,

Function; [tex]\rm f(x) = 3x^3 - 13x^2 -3x + 45[/tex]

We have to determine,

Which of the values shown are potential roots of the given equation?

According to the question,

Potential roots of the polynomial are all possible roots of f(x).

[tex]\rm f(x) = 3x^3 - 13x^2 -3x + 45[/tex]

Using rational root theorem test. We will find all the possible or potential roots of the polynomial.

[tex]\rm p=\dfrac{All\ the \ positive}{Negative\ factors \ of\ 45}[/tex]

[tex]\rm q=\dfrac{All\ the \ positive}{Negative\ factors \ of\ 3}[/tex]

The factor of the term 45 are,

[tex]\pm1, \ \pm3, \ \pm5, \ \pm9,\ \pm15, \ \pm45[/tex]

And The factor of 3 are,

[tex]\pm1, \ \pm3[/tex]

All the possible roots are,

[tex]\dfrac{p}{q} = \pm1, \ \pm3, \ \pm5, \ \pm9,\ \pm15, \ \pm45,\ \pm \dfrac{1}{3},\ \pm \dfrac{5}{3}[/tex]

Now check for all the rational roots which are possible for the given function,

[tex]\rm f(x) = 3x^3 - 13x^2 -3x + 45\\\\ f(1) = 3(1)^3 - 13(1)^2 -3(1) + 45 = 3-13-3+45 = 32\neq 0\\\\ f(-1) = 3(-1)^3 - 13(-1)^2 -3(-1) + 45 =- 3-13+3+45 = 32\neq 0\\\\ f(3) = 3(3)^3 - 13(3)^2 -3(3) + 45 = 81-117-9+45 =0\\\\ f(-3) = 3(-3)^3 - 13(-3)^2 -3(-3) + 45 = -81+117+9+45 =-144\neq 0[/tex]

Therefore, x = 3 is the potential root of the given function.

Hence, The potential roots of the function are, [tex]\pm1, \ \pm3, \ \pm5, \ \pm9,\ \pm15, \ \pm45,\ \pm \dfrac{1}{3},\ \pm \dfrac{5}{3}[/tex].
