Rational Zero Theorem
VI. Polynomial Functions: Lecture 9 | 29:27 min
In this lecture you will learn about the Rational Zero Theorem. You begin with basic Arithmetic Operations before moving into Composition of Functions and special cases such as when the Composition is Not Commutative. Four complete video examples round out this lecture.
QuickNotes™ 
Rational Zero Theorem
Understand the Rational Zero Theorem and the special case where the leading coefficient is 1. Use it to list all possible rational roots of a polynomial.
Use synthetic substitution to test each possible rational root in your list.
After you find the first root, try to factor the quotient to find the remaining roots.
