Determining the possible rational zeros by putting p over q

The video tutorial explains the rational zero test, which is used to find rational solutions for polynomials. It begins by discussing the nature of real numbers and rational solutions, then moves on to determining the factors of P and Q, which are essential for the test. The tutorial concludes by listing possible rational zeros for a given polynomial, emphasizing that any rational zero must be one of these listed numbers.

What does the Rational Zero Test primarily deal with?

• Complex numbers

• Real numbers

• Imaginary numbers

• Whole numbers

Which of the following is a factor of P in the example given?

• 4

• 3

• 1

• 5

What is the leading coefficient referred to in the Rational Zero Test?

• R

• Q

• P

• S

Which of these is a possible rational zero according to the test?

• ± 2/3

• ± 5/6

• ± 3/2

• ± 4/5

If a polynomial has a rational zero, what can be said about it?

• It is one of the listed rational zeros

• It must be an imaginary number

• It is always a whole number

• It cannot be determined
