FINDING POLYNOMIALS WITH GIVEN ZEROS If we are given the zeros of a polynomial, we can generate the polynomial by first creating the factors of the polynomial.

FINDING POLYNOMIALS WITH GIVEN ZEROS If we are given the zeros of a polynomial, we can generate the polynomial by first creating the factors of the polynomial. For example, if we have the zeros 1 and 3, we can begin by using those zeros to write the factors of our polynomial:

DESCARTES' RULE OF SIGNS The number of positive roots of a polynomial with real coefficients is equal to the number of "changes of sign" in the list of coefficients, or is less than this number by a multiple of 2.

HOW MANY OF THE ROOTS ARE POSITIVE? First, rewrite the polynomial from highest to lowest exponent (ignore any "zero" terms, so it does not matter that x 4 and x 3 are missing): -3x 5 + x 2 + 4x – 2 Then, count how many times there is a change of sign (from plus to minus, or minus to plus):

HOW MANY OF THE ROOTS ARE POSITIVE? The number of sign changes is the maximum number of positive roots There are 2 changes in sign, so there are at most 2 positive roots (maybe less).

HOW MANY OF THE ROOTS ARE NEGATIVE? By doing a similar calculation we can find out how many roots are negative but first we need to put "-x" in place of "x", like this:

HOW MANY OF THE ROOTS ARE NEGATIVE? One change only, so there is 1 negative root.

HOW MANY ROOTS IN TOTAL? The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that a polynomial will have exactly as many roots as its degree. OK, we have gathered lots of info. We know all this: positive roots: 2, or 0 negative roots: 1 total number of roots: 5 So, after a little thought, the overall result is: 5 roots: 2 positive, 1 negative, 2 complex (one pair), or 5 roots: 0 positive, 1 negative, 4 complex (two pairs)

Consider the polynomial 3x 6 - 5x 4 + 2x 3 - 7x 2 - x

Consider the polynomial 3x 6 - 5x 4 + 2x 3 - 7x 2 - x total roots

Consider the polynomial 3x 6 - 5x 4 + 2x 3 - 7x 2 - x total roots 4 sign changes, so 4, 2, or 0 positive roots

Consider the polynomial 3x 6 - 5x 4 + 2x 3 - 7x 2 - x total roots 4 sign changes, so 4, 2, or 0 positive roots Now replace x by -x: ⇒ 3(-x) 6 - 5(-x) 4 + 2(-x) 3 - 7(-x) 2 - (-x) + 2 = 3x 6 - 5x 4 - 2x 3 - 7x 2 + x + 2

Consider the polynomial 3x 6 - 5x 4 + 2x 3 - 7x 2 - x total roots 4 sign changes, so 4, 2, or 0 positive roots Now replace x by -x: ⇒ 3(-x) 6 - 5(-x) 4 + 2(-x) 3 - 7(-x) 2 - (-x) + 2 = 3x 6 - 5x 4 - 2x 3 - 7x 2 + x sign changes, so 2 or 0 negative roots

Consider the polynomial 2x + 5x 4 - 3x 2 - 7x 6

Consider the polynomial 2x + 5x 4 - 3x 2 - 7x 6 First write the terms in the correct order: 2x + 5x 4 - 3x 2 - 7x 6 = -7x 6 + 5x 4 - 3x 2 + 2x

Consider the polynomial 2x + 5x 4 - 3x 2 - 7x 6 First write the terms in the correct order: 2x + 5x 4 - 3x 2 - 7x 6 = -7x 6 + 5x 4 - 3x 2 + 2x Next factor out x : x(-7x 5 + 5x 3 - 3x + 2) This means x = 0 is one of the roots.

Consider the polynomial 2x + 5x 4 - 3x 2 - 7x 6 First write the terms in the correct order: 2x + 5x 4 - 3x 2 - 7x 6 = -7x 6 + 5x 4 - 3x 2 + 2x Next factor out x : x(-7x 5 + 5x 3 - 3x + 2) This means x = 0 is one of the roots. There are 3 changes of sign. So the number of positive roots is either 3 or 1.

Consider the polynomial 2x + 5x 4 - 3x 2 - 7x 6 Now replace x by -x: ⇒ -7(-x) 5 + 5(-x) 3 - 3(-x) + 2 = 7x 5 - 5x 3 + 3x + 2 This has 2 changes of sign. Therefore the number of negative roots is either 2 or 0.

THINK! How many complex roots does the polynomial 2x 5 + 8x 3 + 3x - 7 have?

THINK! How many complex roots does the polynomial 2x 5 + 8x 3 + 3x - 7 have? 1 change of sign, so 1 positive root.

THINK! How many complex roots does the polynomial 2x 5 + 8x 3 + 3x - 7 have? 1 change of sign, so 1 positive root. -2x 5 - 8x 3 - 3x changes of sign, so 0 negative roots.

THINK! How many complex roots does the polynomial 2x 5 + 8x 3 + 3x - 7 have? There are 5 roots altogether, only 1 of which is real. So, there are 4 complex roots.
