Description
Rational Root Theorem: For a polynomial P(x) with integer coefficients, if it has rational roots, they will be of the form ±p/q, where p is a factor of the constant term and q is a factor of the leading coefficient. Example: P(x) = 2x3 + x2 - 13x + 6. Introduces a systematic way to identify potential rational roots of a polynomial.
