1 WARM UP- FOR THE POLYNOMIAL LISTED BELOW:

2 FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF ALGEBRA

3 LEARNING TARGETS  Introduce the FTA  Use FTA to determine how many solutions a polynomial will have  Look at imaginary vs. real solutions  Determine the minimum number of real solutions polynomials will have

4 DETERMINE A FACTORED FORM FOR THE FOLLOWING POLYNOMIAL ***The highest degree a term can be is cubed.

5 CONT.

6 DETERMINE A FACTORED FORM FOR THE FOLLOWING POLYNOMIAL ***The highest degree a term can be is cubed. What is the leading term? How many roots does this polynomial have?

7 SOLUTION

8 ANSWER THE FOLLOWING

9 IS THIS ALWAYS TRUE? Leading Term Power:Roots: 1 2 3 4 n

10 FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF ALGEBRA  The fundamental theorem of algebra states that for each polynomial with complex coefficients there are as many roots as the degree of the polynomial.  If a polynomial’s leading term has degree n then it will have n roots.

11 FTA  Based on the FTA we must always have the same number of roots as our leading terms degree.  However, this does not mean all of our roots will be real numbers (where the graph crosses the x-axis).  Can you think of any potential functions that do not cross the x-axis the same number of times as their leading terms degree?  When this happens we have what are called imaginary roots (more on these next week)

12 FTA  The combination of real roots and imaginary roots must always equal the same degree of the leading term  Next we will view some graphs and look at the number of real roots and imaginary roots  While we look at these graphs pause and ponder and come up with some skeptical questions or I notice statements…

16 4 TH DEGREE POLYNOMIAL

18 5 TH DEGREE POLYNOMIAL

19 N TH DEGREE POLYNOMIAL

20 FTA RULES WITH POLYNOMIALS  Can an even degree polynomial have less than one real root? Why?  Can an even degree polynomial ever have an odd number of real roots? Why?  Can an odd degree polynomial have less than one real root? Why?  Can an odd degree polynomial ever have an even number of real roots? Why?

21 RECAP  Fundamental Theorem of Algebra:  Nth degree polynomials have N number of complex roots  A complex root can be real or imaginary  Real root occurs when the graph crosses the x-axis  The degree of a polynomial will determine the lowest amount of real roots that polynomial can have  This depends on odd-even and its end behavior

22 FOR TONIGHT:  Worksheet  I will be collecting these on Thursday and giving feedback

23 EXIT TICKET  Sketch the following graphs:  5 th Degree polynomial with a negative leading coefficient:  5 real roots  4 real roots  3 real roots  2 real roots  1 real root  0 roots  If the graph cannot be sketched put down N/A and state why
