1 Rational Root Theorem 33 22 11 Definitions Steps Examples

2 Definitions  Rational Root  A root of an expression consisting of a rational number (i.e. no symbols) 2

3 Steps  Put equation in standard form  Find all the factors of the leading coefficient (q)  Find all the factors of the constant term (p)  Determine EVERY POSSIBLE COMBINATION of p/q  Substitute each “p/q” into the original equation noting the versions that check out. 3

4 Example What are the rational roots of 4 x15-51/2-1/25/2-5/2 P(x)
