Learn to find all of the possible rational zeros by using p over q

The video tutorial explains how to determine all possible rational zeros of a polynomial using the rational zero test. It introduces the concepts of P and Q, where P is the constant term and Q is the leading coefficient. The tutorial details how to calculate the factors of P and Q, and how to use these factors to find all possible rational zeros by considering the plus or minus of P divided by Q. The importance of understanding rational numbers and their role in identifying zeros is emphasized, and common questions about the process are addressed.

What does the 'P' represent in the context of determining rational zeros?

• The exponent

• The variable term

• The constant term

• The leading coefficient

How do you determine the possible rational zeros using the rational zero test?

• By dividing the factors of P by the factors of Q

• By subtracting the factors of Q from P

• By multiplying the factors of P and Q

• By adding the factors of P and Q

Which of the following is a possible rational zero if P is 10 and Q is 3?

• ± 2/5

• ± 3/10

• ± 5/2

• ± 10/3

What should you do if a rational zero appears more than once in your list?

• Double its value

• Exclude it completely

• Include it only once

• Include it multiple times

Why can't the number 3 be a zero in the given example?

• Because it is not listed among the possible rational zeros

• Because it is less than Q

• Because it is not a rational number

• Because it is greater than P
