Question

Describe several methods you could use to determine the rational zeros of a polynomial function. Which would you choose to use first? Explain.

Answer 1

The Rational Zero Theorem helps us to narrow down the list of possible rational zeros for a polynomial function. Once we have done this, we can use synthetic division repeatedly to determine all of the zeros of a polynomial function.
