Polynomial Theorems Friday, October 12, 2018
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra The number of roots of a polynomial is equal to its degree.
The Remainder Theorem The remainder when dividing a polynomial by (x-a) is the value of that polynomial at “a”.
The Factor Theorem The binomial x-a is a factor of the polynomial f(x) if and only if f(a)=0.
The Quadratic Formula If you can’t Factor a quadratic, you can always use the quadratic formula which is how you can find imaginary roots.
Exit Ticket • 1. How does the degree of a polynomial relate to its factors? • 2. If something is a factor of a polynomial, what is the remainder if you were to divide by that factor?
