Determine the number of rational zeros

The video tutorial explains how to determine the possible number of distinct rational roots using the rational 0 test and the carts rule of signs. It covers the process of identifying factors of the constant and leading coefficient, applying the rational 0 test, simplifying fractions, and counting the possible rational roots. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of considering both positive and negative values and provides a step-by-step example to illustrate the method. The lesson concludes with a final calculation and a reminder to be cautious to avoid mistakes.
