Show that if a polynomial with integer coefficients has a rational root, then the rational root must be an integer. Hence, show that x^n-5x+7=0 has no rational roots.

Let f(x)=x^n+a_(n-1)x^(n-1)+...+a_0 with n>=2 and a_i an integer have a rational root x=p/q.

Consider q^(n-1)f(p/q).

q^(n-1)f(p/q)=p^n/q+a_(n-1)p^(n-1)+...+a_0q^(n-1)=0

==> a_(n...
