describes the relationship between the polynomial
and its rational zeroes.
A polynomial, P, has a leading coefficient of 1 and
a constant term. The rational roots of P are all
_______
1. Factors of the leading coefficient
2. Factors of the constant term
3. Multiples of the constant term

Respuesta :

Answer:

Factors of the constant term

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial, P, has a leading coefficient of 1 and a constant term. The rational roots of P are all factors of the constant term.

The correct option is (2).

What is rational roots of a polynomial?

The solutions derived at the end of any polynomial equation are known as roots or zeros of polynomials. A polynomial doesn't need to have rational zeros.

Given statement is:

A polynomial, P, has a leading coefficient of one and a constant term. The rational roots of P are all

We know by Rational Zeros Theorem states:

If P(x) is a polynomial with integer coefficients and if is a zero of P(x)

(P( ) = 0), then p is a factor of the constant term of P(x) and q is a factor of the leading coefficient of P(x).

So, from the above statement it is clear that p is a factor of the constant term.

Hence,  The rational roots of P are all factors of the constant term.
