Rational Root and Complex Conjugates Theorem
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra Every polynomial of degree n has exactly n roots.
Rational Root Theorem Used to find possible rational roots (solutions) to a polynomial Possible Roots : P/Q Where P represents the factors of the constant of the polynomial and Q represents the factors of the leading coefficient
Rational Root Theorem
Find all possible rational roots and then find ones that work.
