Practice writing polynomials with given zeros & solving for roots in complex number systems.
E N D
Warm Up. Find all zeros. Graph. Touches Through
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra • In the complex number system, an nth degree polynomial has precisely “n” zeros.
Find all zeros. Goes through both!
Find all zeros. Multiplicity of 2. Just Touches.
Find all zeros. Using the remainder theorem we see that there are NO real solutions!
Find all zeros. Synthetic division gets you to the following: Now use the Quadratic Formula for this part.
Find all zeros. Synthetic Division gives Multiplicity of 2
Find all zeros. Synthetic Division gives Quadratic Formula completes it.
Always come in conjugate pairs Complex Zeros
Write a polynomial with the given zeros: 3, 4i Remember – they come in pairs!
