EQ: How can all of the roots of a polynomial (both real & imaginary) be found?
2
1. x = a is a root 2. P(a) = 0 3. x – a is a factor of the polynomial 4. Dividing by x – 4 gives a remainder of 0
3
Every polynomial of degree “n” has exactly “n” roots and “n” linear factors. 2x 3 + 5x 2 – x + 10 Degree:____ #of factors:_____ #of roots: _____
4
Find all real zeros of Set the function equal to 0 Factor out GCF and factor completely Set the factors equal to zero & solve Factored Form: _______________________________ Roots: _______________________________________
5
Find all the roots & factors of f(x) = x 3 – 64 Set the function equal to 0 Factor out GCF & factor completely Set the factors equal to zero → Solve/use quadratic formula Factored Form: _______________________________ Roots: _______________________________________
6
#1 Find all the roots & factors of f(x) = x 3 + 125 Factored Form: _______________________________ Roots: _______________________________________
7
#2 Find all the roots & factors of f(x) = 8x 3 – 125 Factored Form: _______________________________ Roots: _______________________________________
8
Step 1: Find the real roots by graphing Step 2: Synthetically Divide using one of the roots Step 3: Quadratic → Quadratic Formula NOT → Synthetically divide with another root Step 4: Repeat until you have a quadratic Step 5: Use Quadratic Form
