Zeroes, also called roots, of a function are input values that produce an output of zero. The zeroes of a polynomial function P(x) can be found by factoring P(x) into its linear factors. A polynomial of degree n will have n complex zeroes. A zero is considered a multiple zero if its linear factor repeats, increasing the zero's multiplicity. The Rational Zero Theorem states that if a polynomial with rational coefficients has rational zeroes, they must be integers that are factors of the constant term divided by factors of the leading coefficient.
