8. Finding Zeros of Polynomial Functions 1. Use the rational zero theorem to find all the possible rational zeros. 2. Use a guess-and-check method and synthetic division to find a zero 3. Use the successful synthetic division to get a lower- degree polynomial that can then be solved to find the remainder of the zeros.
