Rational Root Theorem
Rational Zero Theorem
A theorem that provides a complete
list of possible rational roots of the polynomial equation anxn + an–1xn–1 + ··· + a2x2 + a1x + a0 =
0
where all coefficients are integers.
This list consists of all
possible numbers of the form c/d,
where c and d are integers. c must divide
evenly into the constant term a0. d must
divide evenly into the leading coefficient an.
