Polynomial Equations The Zero-product property is very useful in solving polynomial equations if they can be factored. Ex 1: Solve. Ex 2: Solve.
To solve radical equations, eliminate the radical To solve radical equations, eliminate the radical by raising both sides to a power. Ex 3: Solve.
To solve an equation with quadratic form, To solve an equation with quadratic form, substitute and solve the quadratic. Then substitute again to solve the original equation. Ex 4: Solve. Ex 5: Solve.
Inequalities To solve an inequality means to find all of the values of the variable that make the inequality true.
Rules for Inequalities:
Ex 1: Solve the inequality. Ex 2: Solve the compound inequality.
If a product or quotient has an even. number of negative factors, then If a product or quotient has an even number of negative factors, then its value is positive. If a product or quotient has an odd number of negative factors, then its value is negative.
Ex 3: Solve the inequality. You can use a graph or test points to determine the correct region. Guidelines for nonlinear inequalities: 1. Move all terms to one side 2. Factor 3. Determine the intervals 4. Make a table or diagram 5. Solve
Ex 4: Solve the inequality.
