  1. A) B) Polynomial Long Division Review

  2. STEP #1: Write the Polynomial in DESCENDING ORDER by degree and write any ZERO coefficients for missing degree terms in order SYNTHETIC DIVISION: STEP #2: Solve the Binomial Divisor = Zero STEP #3: Write the ZERO-value, then all the COEFFICIENTS of Polynomial. Zero = 2 5 -13 10 -8 = Coefficients STEP #4 (Repeat): (1) ADD Down, (2) MULTIPLY, (3) Product  Next Column

  3. Zero = 2 5 -13 10 -8 = Coefficients 10 -6 8 5 -3 0 = Remainder 4 SYNTHETIC DIVISION: Continued STEP #5: Last Answer is your REMAINDER STEP #6: POLYNOMIAL DIVISION QUOTIENT Write the coefficient “answers” in descending order starting with a Degree ONE LESS THAN Original Degree and include NONZERO REMAINDER OVER DIVISOR at end (If zero is fraction, then divide coefficients by denominator) 5 -3 4  SAME ANSWER AS LONG DIVISION!!!!

  4. [1] Zero = = Coefficients SYNTHETIC DIVISION: Practice [2] [3] [4] Divide by 2

  5. REMAINDER THEOREM: Given a polynomial function f(x): then f(a) equals the remainder of Example: Find the given value [A] Method #2: Substitution/ Evaluate Method #1: Synthetic Division 2 1 3 - 4 -7 2 10 12 1 5 6 5 -3 1 0 - 5 8 -3 -3 9 -12 12 1 -3 4 -4 9 [B]

  6. FACTOR THEOREM: (x – a) is a factor of f(x) iff f(a) = 0 remainder = 0 Example: Factor a Polynomial with Factor Theorem Given a polynomial and one of its factors, find the remaining factors using synthetic division. -3 1 3 -36 -108 -3 0 108 1 0 -36 0 (Synthetic Division) (x + 6) (x - 6) Remaining factors

  7. PRACTICE: Factor a Polynomial with Factor Theorem Given a polynomial and one of its factors, find the remaining factors. [A] STOP once you have a quadratic! [B] STOP once you have a quadratic!

  8. Finding EXACT ZEROS (ROOTS) of a Polynomial [1]FACTORwhen possible & Identify zeros: Set each Factor Equal to Zero [2a]All Rational Zeros = P = leading coefficient, Q = Constant of polynomial [2b] Use SYNTHETIC DIVISION (repeat until you have a quadratic) [3]Identify the remaining zeros  Solve the quadratic = 0 (1) factor (2) quad formula (3) complete the square Answers must be exact, so factoring and graphing won’t always work!

  9. Example 1:Find ZEROS/ROOTS of a Polynomial by FACTORING: (1) Factor by Grouping (2) U-Substitution (3) Difference of Squares, Difference of Cubes, Sum of Cubes [B] [A] Factor by Grouping Factor by Grouping [D] [C]

  10. Example 2:Find ZEROS/ROOTS of a Polynomial by SYNTHETIC DIVISION (Non-Calculator) • Find all values of • Check each value by synthetic division [B] [A] Possible Zeros (P/Q) ±1, ±2 Possible Zeros (P/Q) ±1, ±3, ±7, ±21

  11. Example 2:PRACTICE [D] [C] Possible Zeros (P/Q) ±1, ±3 Possible Zeros (P/Q) ±1, ±2, ±4, ±8

  12. Example 2:PRACTICE [F] [E] Possible Zeros (P/Q) ±1, ±2, ±4, ±1/2 Possible Zeros (P/Q) ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6, ±1/2, ± 3/2

  13. Example 2:PRACTICE [H] [G] Possible Zeros (P/Q) ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6, ±1/3, ± 2/3 Possible Zeros (P/Q) ±1, ±2, ±1/2 ±1/3, ±2/3 , ± 1/6

  14. Example 3:Find ZEROS/ROOTS of a Polynomial by GRAPHING (Calculator) • [Y=], Y1 = Polynomial Function and Y2 = 0 • [2ND] [TRACE: CALC] [5:INTERSECT] • First Curve? [ENTER], Second Curve? [ENTER] • Guess? Move to a zero [ENTER] [A]
