5 1 Topic 7 Polynomials and quadratics Contents 7.1 Learning points Assessment practice
6 2 TOPIC 7. POLYNOMIALS AND QUADRATICS Learning objective You should be able to: identify when an expression is a polynomial; factorise polynomials; solve polynomial equations; apply factor theorem to find unknown coefficients; determine functions from graphs; use the method of completing the square to determine the turning point of a quadratic; solve quadratic equations and inequations; determine, interpret and use: the discriminant; the conditions for tangency; find the coordinates of the points of intersection of: a line and a curve; two curves. By the end of this topic, you should have identified your strengths and areas for further revision.
7 TOPIC 7. POLYNOMIALS AND QUADRATICS Learning points Read through the learning points before you attempt the assessments and go back to the course materials if you need to revise further. Polynomials and quadratics Polynomials A polynomial is an expression containing the sum or difference of algebraic terms with powers or the equivalent in factorised form. The degree of a polynomial is the value of the highest power. Synthetic division is a method for factorising a polynomial. (x a) is the divisor e.g. If a polynomial divided by (x a) has remainder 0 then (x a) is a factor. If (x a) is a factor then the remainder under division by (x a) is 0. When trying a divisor of the form (x a) it is usually a good idea to start with (x 1). If that does not work then think of the possible factors of the constant on the end of your polynomial. Be systematic and don't rub out any attempts that do not work. Solving a polynomial is best done in factorised form and allows you to identify the roots (i.e. the places where the graph of the polynomial crosses the x-axis). To determine the equation of a polynomial from its graph: use the roots to determine the factors e.g. roots a, b, c give factors (x a)(x b)(x c); remember the polynomial may have a scalar k e.g. y = k(x a)(x b)(x c); substitute the coordinates of the y-intercept to determine k; To determine points of intersection of lines and polynomials: make the equations equal and re-arrange to equal 0; factorise using synthetic division and trial and error; identify and interpret the roots; Equal roots are required for tangency. find any other points of intersection. The same method can be used to find the points of intersection of two polynomials
8 4 TOPIC 7. POLYNOMIALS AND QUADRATICS Quadratics Completing the square is used to: determine the coordinates of the turning point; to solve a quadratic equation which: does not factorise; is undefined using the quadratic formula; has a discriminant < 0, so the graph has no real roots; gives a parabola that lies entirely above or entirely below the x-axis e.g. a quadratic of the form ax 2 + bx + c can be written in the completed square form. Quadratic equations can be solved by: using the graph; factorising; using the quadratic formula: x = b ± b 2 4ac 2a (The formula is not given so learn it!) completing the square. To solve quadratic inequalities you need to: solve the related quadratic equation to find the roots; make a sketch of the graph of the quadratic function; identify the solution of the inequality: f(x) < 0 has solutions below the x-axis. f(x) > 0 has solutions above the x-axis. The discriminant of the quadratic equation ax 2 + bx + c = 0 is b 2 4ac. If b 2 4ac < 0, there are no real roots. If b 2 4ac = 0, the roots are real and equal. If b 2 4ac > 0, the roots are real and distinct. To determine the relationship between a line and a parabola: make the equations equal and rearrange to equal 0; find and interpret the discriminant of the resulting quadratic equation: if b 2 4ac = 0 then the line is a tangent. if b 2 4ac > 0 then the line crosses the parabola in 2 places. if b 2 4ac < 0 then the line does not touch the parabola. Find the coordinates of any point(s) of contact.

Answer: real and distinct b 2 4ac = p 2 4(2)( 3) = p since p 2 0, p hence b 2 4ac > 0 Q8: Yes, because the remainder under synthetic division is zero. Q9: (x +3)(x 1)(x 1) Q10: (1,0) Q11: Hints: 2x 2 4x + 5 = 2 [ x 2 2x ] + 5 [ = 2 (x 1) 2 1 2] + 5 Answer: f(x) = 2(x 1) = 2(x 1) Q12: Steps: What are the roots? -2 and 3 2 Make a sketch of the graph to determine the values of x where 2x 2 + x 6 > 0.

What is the value of k? k = 5 Factorise the quotient then solve the polynomial. Answer: x = 2 or x = 1 /2 or x = 1 Q16: Hints: The roots are x = 1 and x = p Hence the equation in factorised form is y = (x + 1)(p x) Notice that the parabola is a sad face in shape and hence x 2 is negative. (x + 1)(p x) = xp x 2 + p x = p + xp x x 2 =? Answer: y = p +(p 1)x x 2
16 12 ANSWERS: UNIT 2 TOPIC 4 Q17: Hints: At the point of intersection the equations are equal. x + p = p + xp x x 2 x 2 + 2x xp = 0 x 2 + (2 p)x = 0 Use the discriminant for equal roots to determine p. a = 1, b = 2 p and c = 0. b 2 4ac = 0 (2 p) 2 0 = 0 Answer: p = 2 2 p = 0 Q18: Steps: The equations are equal at any points of intersection. What is a simplified expression to represent this? x 2 + x +3=0 What is the value of b 2 4ac? -11 Interpret the value of the discriminant. Answer: 0, because b 2 4ac < 0
