You Try! Long Division
![Page 6: 2.4 – Real Zeros of Polynomial Functions](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020919/56816379550346895dd457e3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Division Algorithm for Polynomials
f(x) = d(x) q(x) + r(x)
• f(x) – polynomial (dividend)• d(x) – polynomial (divisor)• q(x) – unique polynomial (quotient)• r(x) – unique polynomial (remainder)
Note: r(x) = 0 or the degree of r is less than the degree of d.

Remainder and Factors TheoremRemainder Theorem - If a
polynomial f(x) is divided by x - k, then the remainder is r = f(k).Note: So if you want to know the remainder after dividing by x-k you don't need to do any division: Just calculate f(k).
Factor Theorem - A polynomial function f(x) has a factor x - k if an only if f(k) = 0.

Important Connections for Polynomial Functions
The following statements are all equivalent(for a polynomial function f and a real number
k):1. x = k is a solution (or root) of
the equation f(x) = 0.2. k is a zero of the function f.3. k is an x-intercept of the graph
of y = f(x).4. x - k is a factor of f(x).

Let’s take a look at Synthetic Division!Ex) f(x) = x3 – 5x2 + 3x -2
d(x) = x+1
![Page 15: 2.4 – Real Zeros of Polynomial Functions](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020919/56816379550346895dd457e3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
You try Synthetic Division:Ex) f(x) = 9x3 + 7x2 – 3x
d(x) = x - 10

More Synthetic DivisionEx) f(x) = 5x4 – 3x + 1
d(x) = 4 - x

Upper and Lower Bound Tests for Real ZerosSuppose f(x) is divided by (x – k) (use synthetic division):
If k > 0 and every number in the last line is positive or zero, then k is an upper bound for the real zeros of f.
If k < 0 and the numbers in the last line are alternately non-negative and non-positive, then k is a lower bound for the real zeros of f.

Use synthetic division to prove that the number k is an upper bound for the real zeros of the function fEx) k = 3

Rational Zeros (roots) TheoremIf a polynomial has any rational roots, then they are in the form of p
q
•p is a factor of the constant term
•q is a factor of the leading coefficient
![Page 23: 2.4 – Real Zeros of Polynomial Functions](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020919/56816379550346895dd457e3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example Using the Rational Zeros Theorem
List all the possible rational roots of f(x) = 2x3 – 3x2 – 4x + 6
We found the possible rational roots, but which ones are actually the roots?
![Page 24: 2.4 – Real Zeros of Polynomial Functions](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020919/56816379550346895dd457e3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Let’s try another one:
f(x) = x3 + x2 – 10x + 8
Reminders:
1)Find the possible rational roots2)Look at the graph to see which roots to
test3)Test roots using synthetic division4)If the remainder is 0, then it is indeed a
root5)If not, then test another possible and
reasonable root6)Look at factors of function and factor to
find the rest of the roots
![Page 25: 2.4 – Real Zeros of Polynomial Functions](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020919/56816379550346895dd457e3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
You try! Find all of the real zeros of the function.
f(x) = x3 + x2 – 8x - 6
Reminders:
1)Find the possible rational roots2)Look at the graph to see which roots to
test3)Test roots using synthetic division4)If the remainder is 0, then it is indeed a
root5)If not, then test another possible and
reasonable root6)Look at factors of function and factor to
find the rest of the roots. If you can’t factor, use the quadratic formula!
