The Integral Root Theorem
An integer k is a root of a
polynomial equation only if
k is a factor of the constant
term.
This theorem is applied when
the leading coefficient of the
polynomial equation is 1.
Find the zeros of

1. Find the factors of 8


(2, 4, 8)
2. Select one from the list of factors of
-8 and use the Factor theorem. If the
result becomes zero, then the selected
factor is a root of the given P(x).
Then do synthetic division and
proceed to factoring.

The Rational Root Theorem
A rational number expressed in
lowest form is a root of a
polynomial P(x) only if p is a factor
of the constant term and q is a
factor of the leading coefficient.
The Rational Root Theorem
The rational root theorem is
used when the leading
coefficient of the polynomial
equation is neither zero nor one.
=0
Any rational root of the
polynomial equation must have a
numerator that is a factor of -3 ()
and a denominator that is a factor
of 2 ()
These may result to:
Then do factor theorem then
synthetic division and proceed to
factoring.
