1. 9.8 Day 2 – Finding Rational Zeros

2. The Rational Zero Theorem: If has integer coefficients, then every rational zero of f have the following form:

3. We call the factors of the constant term the. We call the factors of the leading coefficient the. We refer to the rational zeros as the. p’s q’s

4. 1.Find the rational zeros of a. List factors on the constant term (the p’s): b. List factors on the leading coefficient (the q’s): c. Possible zeros: d. Test (look for a remainder of zero with synthetic division):
