Find all the possible rational zeros given a polynomial

The video tutorial explains how to determine all possible rational zeros of a polynomial using the rational zero test. It introduces the concept of P and Q, where P is the constant term and Q is the leading coefficient. The tutorial guides viewers through listing the factors of P and Q, and then calculating the possible rational zeros by dividing each factor of P by each factor of Q. The process is demonstrated with examples, emphasizing the use of plus or minus signs for each factor.
