Section 2.5 Part Two Other Tests for Zeros Descartes’s Rule of Signs Upper and Lower Bounds
Descartes’s Rule of Signs • Let f(x) be a polynomial with real coefficients and ao≠ 0. • The number of positive real zeros of f is either equal to the number of variations in sign of f(x) or less than that number by an even integer. • The number of negative real zeros of f is either equal to the number of variations in the sign of f(-x) of less than that number by an even integer.
Apply Descarte’s Rule of Signs • Consider f(x) = x2 + 8x + 15 • Since there are no variations in sign of f(x) there are no positive roots. • Since f(-x) = (-x)2 + 8(-x) + 15 = x2 – 8x + 15 has two variations, f(x) may have two or zero negative roots. x = {-3. -5}
Variation in Sign • A variation in sign means that when the polynomial is written in standard form that one term has a different sign than the next. • T(x) = x5 + 9x4 + 19x3 – 21x2 – 92x – 60 • For Variations of T(x) just look at the signs T(x) has one variation in signs • For Variations of T(-x) you must change the sign of terms with odd numbered exponents • T(-x) = -x5 + 9x4 – 19x3 – 21x2 + 92x – 60 T(-x) has four variation in signs

#5 Find all of the zeros of the function. F(x) = (x + 6)(x + i)(x – i) x = {-6, -i, i}
#10 Use the rational zero test to list all of the possible rational zeros of f. Verify that the zeros of f shown are contained in the list. f(x) = 4x5 – 8x4 – 5x3 + 10x2 + x – 2
#15 Find all of the real zeros of the function. h(t) = t3 + 12t2 + 21t + 10 Caution graph may be misleading. With a cubic we expect another turn down to the left
