Defintion:: Grade 10 Mathematics Rational Root Theorem

This document provides instructions for students to complete activities on determining rational roots of polynomial functions using the Rational Root Theorem. It defines the Rational Root Theorem and explains how to find the upper and lower bounds of polynomial functions. Students are given 10 polynomial functions and asked to determine the possible rational roots for each using the theorem. They are also asked to find the upper and lower bounds and use Descartes' rule of signs to determine possible signs of the rational roots.

to determine and try any of the possible rational roots using synthetic division.”
