Factors, Roots, Zeros For our Polynomial Function: The Factors are: (x + 5) & (x - 3) The Roots/Solutions are: x = -5 and 3 The Zeros are at: (-5, 0) and (3, 0)
Rearrange the terms to have zero on one side: • Factor: • Set each factor equal to zero and solve: Solving a Polynomial Equation The only way that x2 +2x - 15 can = 0 is if x = -5 or x = 3
x-Intercepts of a Polynomial The points where y = 0 are called the x-intercepts of the graph. The x-intercepts for our graph are the points... and (3, 0) (-5, 0)
Real/Imaginary Roots If a polynomial has ‘n’ complex roots will its graph have ‘n’ x-intercepts? In this example, the degree n = 3, and if we factor the polynomial, the roots are x = -2, 0, 2. We can also see from the graph that there are 3x-intercepts.
Find Roots/Zeros of a Polynomial We can find the Roots or Zeros of a polynomial by setting the polynomial equal to 0 and factoring. Some are easier to factor than others! The roots are: 0, -2, 2
Real/Imaginary Roots Just because a polynomial has ‘n’ complex roots doesn’t mean that they are all Real! In this example, however, the degree is still n = 3, but there is only oneRealx-intercept or root at x = -1, the other 2 roots must have imaginary components.

Factor Theorem 1. If f(c)=0, that is c is a zero of f, then x - c is a factor of f(x). 2. Conversely if x - c is a factor of f(x), then f(c)=0.

(x - 5) is a factor Find Roots/Zeros of a Polynomial If we cannot factor the polynomial, but know one of the roots, we can divide that factor into the polynomial. The resulting polynomial has a lower degree and might be easier to factor or solve with the quadratic formula. We can solve the resulting polynomial to get the other 2 roots:
(x – 2)(x – 2)(x2+4x+ 6) = 0 This was obtainedfrom the second synthetic division. The solution set of the original equation is {2, -2– i, -2 + i}. EXAMPLE: Solving a PolynomialEquation Solve: x4-6x2- 8x + 24 = 0. SolutionNow we can solve the original equation as follows. x4-6x2+ 8x + 24 = 0This is the given equation. x – 2 = 0 orx – 2 = 0 or x2+4x+ 6 = 0Set each factor equal to zero. x= 2 x= 2 x2+4x+ 6 = 0Solve.

EXAMPLE: Solving a Polynomial Equation FIND ALL POSSIBLE RATIONAL ROOTS Solve: x4-6x2- 8x + 24 = 0. SolutionRecall that we refer to the zeros of a polynomial function and the roots of a polynomial equation. Because we are given an equation, we will use the word "roots," rather than "zeros," in the solution process. We begin by listing all possible rational roots.
Descartes’ Rule of Signs Arrange the terms of the polynomial P(x) in descending degree: • The number of times the coefficients of the terms of P(x) change sign = the number of Positive Real Roots (or less by any even number) • The number of times the coefficients of the terms of P(-x) change sign = the number of Negative Real Roots (or less by any even number) In the examples that follow, use Descartes’ Rule of Signs to predict the number of + and - Real Roots!
Solution 1. To find possibilities for positive real zeros, count the number of sign changes in the equation for f(x).Because all the terms are positive, there are no variations in sign. Thus, there are no positive real zeros. 2. To find possibilities for negative real zeros, count the number of sign changes in the equation for f(-x). We obtain this equation by replacing x with -x in the given function. f(x)= x3+ 2x2 + 5x + 4This is the given polynomial function. Replace xwith -x. f(-x)= (-x)3+2(-x)2+ 5(-x) + 4 =-x3+ 2x2 - 5x + 4 Determine the possible number of positive and negative real zeros of f(x)= x3+ 2x2 + 5x + 4. EXAMPLE:Using Descartes’ Rule of Signs
