Remainder and Factor Theorem Section 6.5
Objectives • Identify the Remainder Theorem • Identify the Factor Theorem • Use them to completely factor and solve higher order polynomials
Remainder Theorem • If , use synthetic division to divide by • Now, evaluate Notice anything?
Remainder Theorem • Evaluate • Divide by Notice anything?
Remainder Theorem • If a polynomial is divided by the remainder will be Putting it into your own words… • If you plugged “k” into the function, the value you would get after simplifying would be the remainder if you divided • You can plug a divisor’s zero into the function and see what the remainder would be if you divided by it
Example • Evaluate • Divide by Here, the remainder theorem confirms that there would be no remainder for dividing by , so we know that would be a factor of the polynomial
Factor Theorem • If a polynomial, , has a factor, , then • If you plugged “k” (which is the zero of the divisor that you know to be a factor of ), into the function – the resulting value after you simplify would be zero.
Factor Completely • Factor given that • If what would the first factor of be? • Think about synthetic division
Factor Theorem • Factor completely given that Steps to Follow • Use synthetic division with the given zero to find the other factors • Once you find the other factor, you can continue factoring if possible, and/or find the zeros of the function (if you’re told to)
Finding zeros • and one zero is . Find the other zeros of the function algebraically. Steps to Follow • Use synthetic division with the zero that was given to find the factors • Then set equal to zero and solve for all zeros
Example • If and one zero is , find the other zeros of the function
Find all zeros • One zero is 4
Find all zeros • One zero is 10
