  1. Warm Up • Evaluate the following polynomials

  2. Solving Higher Degree Polynomials

  3. Let’s Review Synthetic Division

  4. To divide synthetically • Write the polynomial in standard form (Insert zeros for missing terms) • List coefficients • If you have x = c, divide by c • If you have (x + c) or (x – c), use the opposite of c • Drop down the first coefficient • Multiply, add down, and repeat

  5. Using Synthetic Substitution Use synthetic division to evaluate f(x) = 2x4+ -8x2+ 5x- 7 when x = 3. One way to evaluate polynomial functions is to usedirect substitution. Another way to evaluate a polynomialis to use synthetic substitution. EQ: How do we use Long Division and Synthetic Division?

EQ: How do we use Long Division and Synthetic Division?

  7. Ex. 1 Evaluate 4x3+ x + 7 when x = 2 2

  8. Ex. 1 Evaluate 4x3+ x + 7 when x = 2 add down multiply by the box number 2 41

  9. Ex. 3 Evaluate 2x3+ 7x2 – 5 when x = -3)

  10. To determine if a given binomial is a factor • Divide synthetically • If your remainder is 0, then the binonial is a factor • Ex. Is x – 3 a factor for

  11. Ex. 1 (4x3 + x + 7)  (x – 2) Set = to zero & solve for x 2

  12. Ex. 1 (4x3 + x + 7)  (x – 2) add down multiply by the box number 2 41 Remainder Quotient

  13. Ex. 2 You try… (x3 + 6x2 – x – 30)  (x – 2) 30

  14. Ex. 3 (2x3 + 7x2 – 5)  (x + 3)

  16. Warm up • Divide synthetically

  17. Higher Degree Polynomial Functions

  18. An example of a polynomial function… f(x) = 6x4 + x3 – 21x2 – 15x + 36 Leading coefficient Degree (highest exponent) (in front)

  19. An example of a polynomial function… f(x) = 6x4 + x3 – 21x2 – 15x + 36 When we solve a polynomial function, we are looking for the numbers that make the equation equal to zero. “root” “zero” and “solution” all mean the same thing

  20. From Last week… f(x) = x2 + x – 6 To solve this equation… x2 + x – 6 = 0 Set equal to zero (x + 3)(x – 2) = 0 Factor Set each factor equal to zero x + 3 = 0 x – 2 = 0 x = - 3 x = 2 solve

  21. f(x) = 6x4 + x3 – 21x2 – 15x + 36 • But with larger polynomials, solving by factoring is impractical. • Later we’ll learn new methods for solving a polynomial.

  22. How many roots? How many factors? f(x) = x3 + 2x2 – 3x + 12 f(x) = x3 + 2x2 – 3x + 12 3 3 f(x) = x5 + 14x4 – 4 f(x) = x5 + 14x4 – 4 5 5 The degree tells you the number of roots or factors the polynomial will have.

  23. Repeated roots… Ex. 1 P(x) = x2 – 10x + 25 P(x) = (x - 5)(x - 5) x = 5 x = 5 5 has a multiplicity of two If a root occurs k times, it has a multiplicity of k.

  24. Repeated roots… f(x) = x2 f(x) = (x+3)(x+3)(x+3) x = 0, 0 x = -3, -3, -3 0 has a multiplicity of two -3 has a multiplicity of three

  25. Conjugate pairs -If is a root, then is also a root. Imaginary roots always come in pairs. -If a + biis a root, then a – bi is also a root. Irrational roots always come in pairs.

  26. Our goal is to be able to find all of the roots of a polynomial.

  27. Finding Roots

  28. Fundamental Theorem of Algebra -Every polynomial will have at least one linear factor

  29. Sometimes you can find all of the roots of a polynomial without doing much work.

  30. Suppose a polynomial of degree 3 has 3 – 4i and 9 as roots. Find all of the roots. 3 Ex. 2 Roots Because the degree is 3… 9 we should have 3 roots. 3 – 4i Because one root is 3 – 4i… 3 + 4i then 3 + 4i is also a root. Imaginary roots always come in pairs.

  31. Ex. 3 You try… Suppose a polynomial of degree 6 has -2 + 5i, -i, and as roots. Find all of the roots. 6 Because the degree is 6… Roots we should have 6 roots. -2 + 5i -2 – 5i -i Imaginary roots always come in pairs. i Irrational roots always come in pairs.

  32. Ex. 4 Find all of the roots. f(x) = x2 – 2x - 8 If quadratic: (x – 4)(x + 2) factor OR quadratic formula

  33. What if it is a higher degree polynomial? • If given a root or a factor, use synthetic division with the given root/factor • Then use factoring or the quadratic formula to solve the remaining quadratic

  34. Ex. 5 Given a zero, find all the zeros P(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 13x – 20;4 We should get zero for a remainder… 20 4 -8 why? 1 -2 5 Now we have a quadratic, what can we do? Factor OR quadratic formula

  35. Ex. 5 Given a zero, find all the zeros P(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 13x – 20;4 , 12i 20 4 -8 1 -2 5

  36. Warm Up • Find ALL zeros

  37. Notes • Let P be a polynomial function in standard form with integer coefficients. If is a root of P(x), then: • p is a factor of the constant term of P • q is a factor of the leading coefficient of P The Rational Roots Theorem
