Using p over q to find the rational zeros of a polynomial

The video tutorial explains the rational zero test, focusing on determining the factors of P and Q, which represent the constant and leading coefficient, respectively. The instructor guides through the process of identifying these factors and using them to determine all possible rational zeros of a polynomial. The tutorial concludes with examples to illustrate the application of the test and emphasizes that any rational zero must be one of the identified numbers.
