400 x 5 + 2660 x 4 3602 x 3 + 1510 x 2 + 18 x 90 \large -400{ x }^{ 5 }+2660{ x }^{ 4 }-3602{ x }^{ 3 }+1510{ x }^{ 2 }+18x-90

The polynomial above has five rational roots. Suppose you guess a rational number which could possibly be a root (according to rational root theorem), what is the probability that it actually is a root?

If your answer is a b \frac ab for coprime positive integers a , b a,b . Submit your answer as a + b a+b .
