3. Review… Solving Polynomial Equations
To solve polynomial equations…
Look at the graph/table to see if you can identify a root. If you can, use synthetic division, then continue to find roots.
Factor if you can.
Use the Quadratic Formula when needed.
Some equations can be prime.

4. Review… Factoring Completely
Remember, GCF first always.
Check for your Special Cases.
Sometimes you may have to factor more than once.
Sometimes it will be Prime.

5. Review… Find Polynomials Given Roots
To find a polynomial given its roots, you simply multiply the factors.
Remember, if the root is -3, the factor is (x+3).
