Real roots can be found from the graph (x-intercepts) We use synthetic division with the real roots to solve for the imaginary roots There are as many roots as the degree, so x 5 has 5 roots. Those not seen on the graph are imaginary or multiples of real roots
1 › Goes straight through the zero 2 › “Touch and go” at the zero (makes a U) 3 › “S” or “Wiggles” through the zero
Quadratic Formula still: › Always comes in pairs, conjugate pairs ! You will end up with a negative under the radical!! To get rid of the negative, take out an i.
If a + bi is a zero Then a – bi is a zero If ai is a zero Then –ai is a zero
Imaginary zeros don’t cross x-axis!!!! They are imaginary you can’t see them on a graph.
Find all of the zeros. Always look to see if a function will factor. This function WILL factor.
f(x) = x 4 – 5x 3 + 7x 2 + 3x - 10 Find all the roots
Find all of the zeros of the function: x = -2 x = 1 5 roots: 3 real 2 imag. BOUNCES!
