10. Daily Warm-UP Quiz Honors Algebra 2 is child’s play compared to this workout! 1. Factor completely: a.x 3 – 27 b. x 3 + 64 2. Multiply: a. (x + 3) 3 b. (x -2) 3 3. Simplify: a.√-25 b. √-50 c. √-16 d. √-48 e. -8 +/- √-48 f. -15 +/- √-50 16 30

11. PART II: DIVIDING POLYNOMIALS USING SYNTHETIC DIVISION When a divisor is of the form _______, where c is a constant, _____________ can be used. ALERT! x c synthetic division

12. Synthetic Division Divide using synthetic division: (x 3 + 2x 2 - 4x + 8) ÷ (x + 2) Step 1: Check to determine that the divisor is of the form x + c or x – c. Step 2: Determine the zero, based upon the divisor, to set up the problem using synthetic division.

13. Synthetic Division 1 2 - 4 8 Zero -2 Remainder To check your answer, multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder. It should be the same as the original polynomial.

14. Divide using synthetic division:

15. REMAINDER THEOREM If a polynomial f(x) is divided by (x - k), the remainder is r = f(k). Without dividing, determine the remainder of (x 3 + 2x 2 - 4x + 8) ÷ (x + 2)

16. FACTOR THEOREM A polynomial, f(x) has a factor (x- k) if and only if f(k) = 0. Determine if x + 2 is a factor of (x 3 + 2x 2 - 4x + 8)

17. Final Checks for Understanding 1.Given that f(x) = 2x 3 + 11x 2 + 18x + 9 has x = -3 as a zero, factor f(x). 2.What kind of divisor is required for synthetic division? 3.Evaluate f(x) = 2x 3 + 6x 2 – 8 at x = 1. 4.Factor 2x 3 + 6x 2 – 8 completely. 5.Write the polynomial divisor, dividend, and quotient that the synthetic division below represents: 2 6 0 -8 2 8 8 2 8 8 0 1
