Question 1

rational zero theorem

Answer 1

• If P(x) is a polynomial with integer coefficients and if is a zero of P(x) ( P( ) = 0 ), then p is a factor of the constant term of P(x) and q is a factor of the leading coefficient of P(x) . We can use the Rational Zeros Theorem to find all the rational zeros of a polynomial.
