Master Determining all of the possible rational zeros of a polynomial, rational zero test

The video tutorial explains how to use the rational zero test to identify possible rational zeros of a polynomial. It begins with an introduction to the test and its usefulness in finding zeros when other methods are not applicable. The tutorial then defines rational zeros and distinguishes them from irrational and imaginary zeros. The main section covers the application of the rational zero test, detailing the process of identifying factors of the constant and leading coefficient, and calculating possible rational zeros. The video concludes with examples demonstrating the test and simplifying the results.
