Rational Zeros Test

The video tutorial explores the rational zero test, explaining its relevance and application in identifying possible rational zeros of polynomials. It discusses the roles of P and Q, the constant and leading coefficient, respectively, and demonstrates the process through examples. The tutorial highlights the test's utility in the absence of graphing technology and emphasizes its role in verifying solutions. Despite its reduced importance due to technological advancements, the rational zero test remains a useful tool for understanding polynomial zeros.

What does it mean when a polynomial is non-factorable, and how does that relate to the Rational Root Theorem?

Discuss the role of P and Q in the Rational Root Theorem.

Why is it important to write the possible rational zeros in descending order?
