Use the Factor Theorem. Factoring Polnomials Previousl, ou factored quadratic polnomials. You can also factor polnomials with degree greater than 2. Some of these polnomials can be factored completel using techniques ou have previousl learned. A factorable polnomial with integer coefficients is factored completel when it is written as a product of unfactorable polnomials with integer coefficients.

There are also factoring patterns that ou can use to factor the sum or difference of two cubes. Core Concept Special Factoring Patterns Sum of Two Cubes Eample a 3 + b 3 = (a + b)(a 2 ab + b 2 ) = () = ( + 1)( ) Difference of Two Cubes Eample a 3 b 3 = (a b)(a 2 + ab + b 2 ) = (3) = (3 2)( ) 232 Chapter 5 Polnomial Functions

Factoring Polnomials 233

4 The Factor Theorem When dividing polnomials in the previous section, the eamples had nonzero remainders. Suppose the remainder is 0 when a polnomial f() is divided b k. Then, f() k = q() + 0 k = q() where q() is the quotient polnomial. Therefore, f() = ( k) q(), so that k is a factor of f(). This result is summarized b the Factor Theorem, which is a special case of the Remainder Theorem. READING In other words, k is a factor of f () if and onl if k is a zero of f. Core Concept The Factor Theorem A polnomial f() has a factor k if and onl if f(k) = 0. STUDY TIP In part (b), notice that direct substitution would have resulted in more difficult computations than snthetic division. Determining Whether a Linear Binomial Is a Factor Determine whether (a) 2 is a factor of f() = and (b) + 5 is a factor of f() = a. Find f(2) b direct substitution. b. Find f( 5) b snthetic division. f(2) = (2) = = Because f(2) 0, the binomial Because f( 5) = 0, the binomial 2 is not a factor of + 5 is a factor of f() = f() = Factoring a Polnomial Show that + 3 is a factor of f() = Then factor f() completel. ANOTHER WAY Notice that ou can factor f () b grouping. f () = 3 ( + 3) 1( + 3) = ( 3 1)( + 3) = ( + 3)( 1) ( ) Show that f( 3) = 0 b snthetic division Because f( 3) = 0, ou can conclude that + 3 is a factor of f() b the Factor Theorem. Use the result to write f() as a product of two factors and then factor completel. f() = Write original polnomial. = ( + 3)( 3 1) Write as a product of two factors. = ( + 3)( 1)( ) Difference of Two Cubes Pattern 23 Chapter 5 Polnomial Functions

5 Because the -intercepts of the graph of a function are the zeros of the function, ou can use the graph to approimate the zeros. You can check the approimations using the Factor Theorem. STUDY TIP You could also check that 2 is a zero using the original function, but using the quotient polnomial helps ou find the remaining factor. Real-Life Application During the first 5 seconds of a roller coaster ride, the function h(t) = t 3 21t 2 + 9t + 3 represents the height h (in feet) of the roller coaster after t seconds. How long is the roller coaster at or below ground level in the first 5 seconds? 1. Understand the Problem You are given a function rule that represents the height of a roller coaster. You are asked to determine how long the roller coaster is at or below ground during the first 5 seconds of the ride. 2. Make a Plan Use a graph to estimate the zeros of the function and check using the Factor Theorem. Then use the zeros to describe where the graph lies below the t-ais. 3. Solve the Problem From the graph, two of the zeros appear to be 1 and 2. The third zero is between and 5. Step 1 Determine whether 1 is a zero using snthetic division h( 1) = 0, so 1 is a zero of h and t + 1 is a factor of h(t). Step 2 Determine whether 2 is a zero. If 2 is also a zero, then t 2 is a factor of the resulting quotient polnomial. Check using snthetic division So, h(t) = (t + 1)(t 2)(t 17). The factor t 17 indicates that the zero between and 5 is 17, or.25. The zeros are 1, 2, and.25. Onl t = 2 and t =.25 occur in the first 5 seconds. The graph shows that the roller coaster is at or below ground level for.25 2 = 2.25 seconds.. Look Back Use a table of values to verif the positive zeros and heights between the zeros. zero zero 80 0 The remainder is 0, so t 2 is a factor of h(t) and 2 is a zero of h. X X=2 h(t) = t 3 21t 2 + 9t + 3 Y h 1 5 t negative Monitoring Progress Help in English and Spanish at BigIdeasMath.com 10.
