Finding all of the possible zeros by applying the rational zero test to a polynomial

The video tutorial explains rational zeros and the rational zero test, which helps identify possible rational zeros of a polynomial. It covers the process of using factors of the constant term and leading coefficient to determine potential zeros. The tutorial includes examples and concludes with homework instructions to practice finding possible rational zeros.

What is the purpose of the rational zero test?

• To simplify a polynomial

• To determine the degree of a polynomial

• To list all possible rational zeros of a polynomial

• To find the exact zeros of a polynomial

Which of the following is a factor of 24?

• 12

• 5

• 15

• 7

When applying the rational zero test, what do you divide the factors of P by?

• The degree of the polynomial

• The factors of the leading coefficient

• The sum of the coefficients

• The factors of the constant term

What should you focus on for your homework according to the video?

• Solving polynomial equations

• Memorizing the factors of numbers

• Practicing the method to find possible rational zeros

• Finding the real zeros of a polynomial

Which of the following is NOT a possible rational zero of a polynomial with a constant term of 24 and a leading coefficient of 1?
