Pre-Calculus Unit 7: Lesson 2: Polynomial Equations
Warm-Up Study your notes. There will be a 5 question timed quiz and an exit ticket at the end of the period today.
Topic/Objective: I will learn how to find all possible solutions, rational or irrational.
Essential Question: How do find all zeros in a polynomial equation?
Notes: Terminology Background: • Real Roots: • Physical x-intercepts • Factors that are real numbers • Numbers are rational • Complex Roots: • May not cross the x-axis • Might have imaginary numbers • Might have irrational or rational numbers
Notes: Terminology Continued: • Rational Numbers: • Exact numbers • Irrational Numbers: • Non-exact and exact numbers • Could contain imaginary values
Notes: Terminology Continued: • Double Roots: • A root that appears twice in a solution of an algebraic equation. • Depressed Polynomial: • A sad polynomial (just kidding) • Actually: New polynomial after dividing an original one by something.
Finding Solutions: The Zero Product Rule: “If (A)(B)(C)=0, then either A = 0, B = 0, or C = 0” Example: (x + 8)(x – 1)(2x – 7) = 0 x + 8 = 0 x – 1 = 0 2x – 7 = 0 x = -8 x = 1 x = 7/2= 3.5
Finding Irrational Solutions: You have done this in Algebra by using the…. Quadratic Formula: For the quadratic function ax2 + bx + c = 0 then:
