2. The Remainder Theorem A-APR 2

3. Explain how to solve a polynomial by factoring

4. One zero of f(x) = x 3 + x 2 - 16 x -16 is 4, what is another zero? How did you find it? How do you know it’s a zero?

5. Synthetic Division Divide polynomials without messing with the variables by using the coefficients and constants. Use the opposite of the constant from the divisor. ________________________________ The first coefficient from the dividend is the first coefficient in your answer. 6 Then you multiply the number in the box to the last number written under the answer line. The answer goes under the next coefficient in line. 12 Then add!! -7 Repeat the process!!! -14 2 4 0 The answer is--

6. Synthetic Division Given: Use direct substitution to find:

7. Use synthetic division What can you conclude if the remainder is zero? Zero of the function Solution of the equation x-intercept
