How do you find the zeros of a polynomial function using the Rational Root Theorem and synthetic division?

Answer 1

Vanessa Bowen

To find the zeros of a polynomial function using the Rational Root Theorem and synthetic division, first list all possible rational roots using the theorem. Then, use synthetic division to test each candidate root. If the remainder is zero, the candidate is a root. Repeat the process with the quotient polynomial until all zeros are found.
