Factor Theorem The polynomial x-k is a factor of the polynomial f(x) if and only if f(x) = 0

Rational Zero Theorem If p/q is a rational number written in lowest terms, and if p/q is a zero of f, a polynomial function with integer coefficients, then p is a factor of the constant term and q is a factor of the leading coefficient.
