Rational Root Test
Objective Use the Rational Root Theorem
Objective Learn how to evaluate data from real world applications that fit into a quadratic model.
Remainder Theorem Remainder = f(k) Example: f(2)=
Therefore, x = -2 is NOT a root! Find the remainder: Therefore, x = -2 is NOT a root! Factor Theorem
Factor Theorem f(x) has a factor (x-k) iff f(k)=0.
Rational Root Theorem If f(x)=anxn + an-1xn-1 +… + a1x + a0 Then the possible rational roots are Factors of the last term (a0) over the factors of the first term (an)
