yes yes no no no yes Use Synthetic Substitution to Find Zeros Find all of the zeros of f(x) = x3 – x2 + 2x + 4. Since f(x) has degree of 3, the function has three zeros. To determine the possible number and type of real zeros, examine the number of sign changes in f(x) and f(–x). f(x) = x3 – x2 + 2x + 4 f(–x) = –x3 – x2 – 2x + 4 Example 3
Use Synthetic Substitution to Find Zeros The function has 2 or 0 positive real zeros and exactly 1 negative real zero. Thus, this function has either 2 positive real zeros and 1 negative real zero or 2 imaginary zeros and 1 negative real zero. To find the zeros, list some possibilities and eliminate those that are not zeros. Use synthetic substitution to find f(a) for several values of a. Each row in the table shows the coefficients of the depressed polynomial and the remainder. Example 3
Quadratic Formula Replace a with 1, b with –2, and c with 4. Use Synthetic Substitution to Find Zeros From the table, we can see that one zero occurs at x = –1. Since the depressed polynomial, x2 – 2x + 4, is quadratic, use the Quadratic Formula to find the roots of the related quadratic equation x2 – 2x + 4 = 0. Example 3

Use Zeros to Write a Polynomial Function Write a polynomial function of least degree with integral coefficients, the zeros of which include 4 and 4 – i. Understand If 4 – i is a zero, then 4 + i is also a zero, according to the Complex Conjugate Theorem. So, x – 4, x – (4 – i), and x – (4 + i) are factors of the polynomial function. Plan Write the polynomial function as a product of its factors.f(x) = (x – 4)[x – (4 – i)][x – (4 + i)] Example 4
