3.6 Real Zeros of a Polynomial Function
Synthetic Division Review Let’s review synthetic division: We can use synthetic division to help us completely factor polynomials.
Factoring Completely factor the following function: Hint: -1 is one zero of the function How can we find out what factor to start with when using synthetic division????
Rational Zeros Theorem Let f be a polynomial function of the form where each coefficient is an integer. If is a rational zero of f, then p must be a factor of , and q must be a factor of .
Potential Rational Zeros List the potential rational zeros of the following function:
Remainder Theorem Let f be a polynomial function. If f (x) is divided by x – c, then the remainder is f (c).
Potential Rational Zeros List the potential rational zeros of the following function. Then find the zeros and factor over the reals.
