Power Point Under Polynomial: Sadilyn Gonzales Jencie Gacillos Annalyn Buranday

The document discusses the remainder theorem and rational root theorem, which can be used to find factors and roots of polynomials. The remainder theorem states that if a polynomial p(x) is divided by (x-a), the remainder will be equal to p(a). The rational root theorem provides a list of all possible rational roots of a polynomial with integer coefficients based on the factors of the leading coefficient and constant term. Examples are given to demonstrate finding the remainder using the remainder theorem and identifying possible rational roots using the rational root theorem.

REMAINDER THEOREM

• The curve crosses the x-axis at three points, and one of them might be at 2.
We can check easily:

• f(2) = 2(2)3-(2)2-7(2)+2 = 16-4-14+2 = 0

• Yes! f(2)=0, so we have found a root and a factor.


EXAMPLES;

• Let f(x) = 4x3– 5x + 1

• a) When f(x) is divided by x – 2, remainder,

• R = f(2) = 4(2)3– 5(2) + 1 = 23

• b) When f(x) is divided by x + 3, remainder,

• R = f(–3) = 4(–3)3– 5(–3) + 1 = –92

• c) When f(x) is divided by 2x – 1, remainder,


FORMULA;
• Polynomials of degree 3 or higher can sometimes be difficult to factor. Long division and synthetic division are methods that can be used to factor polynomials. These methods are very effective, so you should practice them.
However, students always appreciate a shortcut.

• This is where the remainder theorem and factor theorem come into play. After completing this lesson, you will know how to use these theorems to find remainders and factors of polynomials. It is important to note, however, that
these theorems do not provide as much information as other methods, but the information they provide is sometimes good enough.

• Before we introduce the theorems, let's start with a simple problem listing the factors of 27. We could probably easily list the factors as 1, 3, 9, and 27. These numbers are factors because they divide evenly into 27. In other
words, if we divide by the factor 3, the remainder is zero. This fact might seem pretty obvious when dividing with integers, but this property is important to understand when dividing with polynomials.

• If we divide 27 by some other numbers, we will create a remainder. For instance, if we divide 27 by 7, we will get a remainder of 6.

• Finding factors of polynomials, such as quadratic expressions, can be a little more difficult. Well, factoring quadratic expressions is usually not too difficult for the accomplished algebra student. What about finding factors of
polynomials that have a degree of 3 or higher? In other words, the lead term has an exponent higher than 2, as in the following example:

• x^3 + 2x^2 - 11x - 12

• Here we can use long division or synthetic division to find the factors of this polynomial. These methods are very effective. However, the purpose of this lesson is to show alternatives that can be used.
RATIONAL ROOT

• Rational Zeros Theorem

• The rational zeros theorem (also called the rational root theorem) is used to check
whether a polynomial has rational roots (zeros). It provides a list of all possible
rational roots of the polynomial equation , where all coefficients are integers. If the
equation has rational roots p/q, where p and q are integers, then p must divide
evenly into the constant term a0 and q must divide evenly into the leading coefficient
an. In other words, p is a factor of ±a0 and q is a factor of ±an.
FORMULA;

• Rational Root Theorem. A theorem that provides a complete list of possible


rational roots of the polynomial equation anxn + an–1xn–1 + + a2x2 + a1x
+ a0 = 0 where all coefficients are integers. This list consists of all possible
numbers of the form c/d, where c and d are integers.
EXAMPLES;
• Keeping in mind that x-intercepts are zeroes, I will use the Rational Roots Test.

• The constant term of this polynomial is 5, with factors 1 and 5.

• The leading coefficient is 2, with factors 1 and 2.

•
• Then the Rational Roots Tests yields the following possible solutions:

•
• x = ± 1, 1/2, 5, 5/2
