What is the rational zero test?

The video tutorial explains the rational zero test, its importance, and historical context. It defines a polynomial and details the rational zero test, which identifies possible rational zeros of a polynomial in the form P/Q. An example is provided to illustrate the application of the test, showing how to determine potential rational zeros. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on the practical use of the test in verifying solutions and graphing.

How many possible rational zeros can be derived from the example provided?

Discuss the relationship between the degree of a polynomial and the maximum number of rational zeros.

What can be inferred if a rational zero does not match the expected values?
