Rational Root Theorem:Suppose that a polynomial equation with
integral coefficients has the root , where h and k are relatively prime integers. Then h must be a factor of the constant term of the polynomial and k must be a factor of the coefficient of the highest degree term.
(useful when solving higher degree polynomial equations)

Descartes’ Rule of SignsLet f(x) be a polynomial function with real coefficients.
The number of positive real zeros of f(x) is equal to the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(x) or is less than this by an even number.
The number of negative real zeros of f (x) is equal to the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(-x) or is less than this by an even number.
