Goals for today • Reminders: • Group quiz tomorrow—on new material through Descartes’ Rule of Signs • Essential Question/New Material
Essential Question • How do I find the roots of a polynomial function? • How do I determine an equation and graph of a polynomial function given its roots?
Rational Zero Theorem • Use Descartes’ Rule of Signs to identify the number of possible positive and negative zeros. • Use handout for notes and examples on the Rational Zero Theorem.
Writing equations from roots • When you know ALL the roots of an equation, write the FACTORS and multiply them together. • EXAMPLE: Given these roots, write the equation • Use the roots to write the factors and multiply them.
