Too Bad!!! L A polyomial fuctio Px ( of degree has at most real roots if you cout multiplicity. I geeral, Px ( of degree, has exactly roots if you cout multiplicity ad imagiary roots. If a polyomial is writte as a set of liear factors, it is fairly easy to fid the roots ad graph it. If the polyomial is ot i factored form, we must do some work to fid the roots. Use Theorems from famous mathematicias to help!!! J 3.3 Ratioal Zero Theorem This theorem isused to make a list of all possible ratioal zeros of a polyomial fuctio, Px ( = ax b All possible ratioal zeros = p factors of last term factors of b ± =± =± q factors of first term factors of a 3.3 Upper ad Lower-Boud Theorem This theorem helps us fid the rage where the real zeros will occur. It helps us fid the upper & lower bouds. 1 For a polyomial fuctio Px ( = ax + a x +...

Sigs For a polyomial fuctio Px ( = ax + a 1 x # Positive Real Zeros # Negative Real Zeros # positive real zeros = # sig chages of Px ( - OR that umber decreased by a eve iteger. The umber of egative real zeros is the umber of sig chages of P( x - OR that umber decreased by a eve iteger. 3.4 Fudametal Theorem of Algebra If Pxis ( a polyomial fuctio of degree 1 with complex coefficiets the Px ( has at least oe complex zero. Traslatio: Ay polyomial has at least oe zero. 3.4 Liear Factor Theorem If Pxis ( a polyomial fuctio of degree the it has exactly liear factors. Px ( = a( x c1( x c...( x c Where c1, c,... c are complex umbers. Note: Complex umbers iclude real umbers. Complex Number format: a + bi (b = 0 for real # s 3.4 Number of Zeroes of a Polyomial Fuctio Theorem 3.4 Cojugate Pair Theorem If Pxis ( a polyomial fuctio of degree the it has exactly complex zeros provided each zero is couted accordit to its multiplicity. Imagiary roots come i pairs. a+ bi is a zero of a polyomial fuctio, the the If ( cojugate ( a bi Example: x + 9= 0 x = 9 Px is also a zero.

Fid a list of possible real zeros by usig the Ratioal Root Theorem. Check the umbers from your list. o Use the Remaider Theorem to see if a umber, o your list, is a zero. o Whe you fid a zero (say it s at x = c the use sythetic divisio (divide by (x c ad check the bottom row. o Use Upper & Lower boud theorem to rule out other umbers from your list. Work with reduced polyomials. Every time you fid a zero, you obtai a reduced polyomial. If a reduced polyomial is degree, try to factor it or use the quadratic formula. b± b 4ac x = If you fid a imagiary root, use the Cojugate Pair Theorem to fid aother imagiary root. Keep lookig for roots util you fid them all. Use the a Liear Factor Theorem to fid the total umber of roots. (You should fid roots if Px ( is degree. Use the roots to write Px ( as a set of liear factors. Use Far-Ed Behavior, multiplicity, ad fid x & y- itercepts to sketch a graph. EXAMPLE: Step How to factor a polyomial usig Theorems i sectios 3.1 to 3.4. #1 4 3 Completely factor Px ( = x x 6x + x 15 This meas we wat to write Px ( as a product of liear factors. Degree = 4, so The Liear Factor Theorem says it will have exactly 4 liear factors, but some of the associated roots may be complex roots. # Use Descartes Rule of Sigs. To fid the umber of Real Positive zeros, look at the sig chages of the terms of Px. ( There are 3 sig chages so there are 3 or 1 positive real roots. To fid the umber of Real Negative zeros, look at the sig chages of the terms of P( x = ( x ( x 6( x + ( x 15 = x + x 6x x 15 There is oe sig chage so there is oe egative real root. #3 Use Ratioal Zero Theorem. All possible ratioal zeros = factors of 15 1, 3, 5, 15 factors of 1 =± ± ± ±
