Best Answer

If a polynomial function, written in descending order, has integer coefficients, then any rational zero must be of the form ± p/q, where p is a factor of the constant term and q is a factor of the leading coefficient.

What is the rational root theroem?

In algebra, the rational root theorem (or rational root test, rational zero theorem or rational zero test) states a constraint on rational solutions (or roots) of a polynomialequationwith integer coefficients.If a0 and an are nonzero, then each rational solution x, when written as a fraction x = p/q in lowest terms (i.e., the greatest common divisor of p and q is 1), satisfiesp is an integer factor of the constant term a0, andq is an integer factor of the leading coefficient an.The rational root theorem is a special case (for a single linear factor) of Gauss's lemmaon the factorization of polynomials. The integral root theorem is a special case of the rational root theorem if the leading coefficient an = 1.

Is O a rational number?

A rational number can be expressed as a fraction or ratio of two integers. Zero is an integer. Therefore, zero is a rational number EXCEPT, that the denominator of a rational number cannot be zero. You can't divide by zero.
