We began a discussion of the rational root theorem today and showed the students how to consider both the leading coefficient and the constant when determining which values to try as factors. We went through 3-4 examples of polynomials we could factor completely from a hint, but then also showed how to generate a list of possible roots from the values of p and q. The students then got started on their assignment.
