The Rational Zero Test Define purpose of the Rational Zero Test.
To help you find the possible rational zeros using the leading coefficient and the constant
State the Rational Zero Test Rational Zero = p = factor of the constant term q = factor of the leading coefficient
To use the Rational Zero Test… First, list all factors of the constant and then the leading coefficient. Then, set up p/q and test your possible zeros to find the actual zeros.
