7.6 Rational Zero Theorem Algebra II w/ trig
RATIONAL ZERO THEOREM: If a polynomial has integer coefficients, then the possible rational zeros must be a factor of the constant term divided by a factor of the leading coefficient. ▫For ▫Constant term: number hanging off the end ▫Leading coefficient: a n Remember roots and zeros are the solutions to the equation f(x)=0
