3 Rational Zeros Test

4 Examples: List the POSSIBLE Rational Zeros

5 Examples: List POSSIBLE Rational Zeros

6 Finding ALL REAL Solutions: A graph can shorten your list. Focus on #’s in list that appear to be where the graph touches x-axis (x-intercepts) Synthetically divide by a GOOD zero from graph. Remainder = ZERO if it is a solution – If new quotient is degree of 2: factor & solve or quadratic formula to solve – If new quotient is degree of 3 or more, synthetically divide NEW quotient by another GOOD zero from graph, & solve. – IF no graph given: choose #’s from list & synthetically divide until Remainder = zero, then synthetically divide NEW quotient by more #’s from your list until you can factor & solve to find ALL solutions (or quadratic formula)

7 Examples: Shorten list & find ALL real zeros

8 Example: Shorten list and find ALL Real Zeros
