Rational Root Test for Polynomial Factorization (2020 Edition)
This interactive GeoGebra example demonstrates the Rational Root Theorem applied to factor integer-coefficient polynomial functions into linear factors. It covers key algebraic concepts such as polynomial factorization, rational root candidates derived from divisors of constant and leading coefficients, and root verification. Constructed using commands like Sequence, Factors, DivisorsList, Coefficients, Length, Join, Unique, and conditional logic (If), the model dynamically generates all possible rational roots, tests them, and displays valid linear factors. Ideal for high school algebra instruction and exploratory learning in polynomial theory.
