Guided Notes: Synthetic Division, Remainder Theorem, & Fundamental Theorem of Algebra Synthetic Division Step 1: Write the degrees in DESCENDING order. Step 2: Bring down the coefficients. Step 3: Write the constant of the divisor to the left box. Step 4: Bring the FIRST coefficient down. Step 5: Multiply the constant & coefficient and write under the NEXT coefficient. Step 6: Add the column. Step 7: Repeat this process starting at Step 5 Example1: (𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 2 − 5𝑥 + 16) ÷ (𝑥 − 4) Example 2:(𝑥 3 + 27) ÷ (𝑥 + 3) Example 3: (2𝑛3 + 62𝑛 − 26𝑛2 + 4) ÷ (2𝑛 − 6) Discovery Activity: Remainder and Factor Theorem 1.a If 𝑓(𝑥) = (2𝑥 2 − 13𝑥 + 15), divide f(x) by (𝑥 − 5). What is the remainder? b. Now calculate 𝑓(5). 2.a. If 𝑓(𝑥) = (4𝑥 2 − 11𝑥 − 3), divide f(x) by (𝑥 + 6). What is the remainder? b. Now calculate 𝑓(−6). Summarize: What do you notice? Do you see a pattern? Remainder Theorem- What does it mean to be a factor? A polynomial is a factor of a polynomial when the remainder is _____________. (Look at 1.a.) How can we use the remainder theorem to determine if a polynomial is a factor?? Factor Theorem- 3. Let 𝑝(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 − 𝑥 4 + 8𝑥² − 9𝑥 + 30. Evaluate 𝑝(– 2). What does the solution tell you about the factors of 𝑝(𝑥)? 4. Consider the polynomial function: 𝑃(𝑥) = 𝑥 4 − 3𝑥 3 + 𝑎𝑥² − 6𝑥 + 14, where a is an unknown real number. If (𝑥 − 2) is a factor of this polynomial, what is the value of a? Fundamental Theorem of Algebra If P(x) is a polynomial of degree n, then P(x) = 0 has exactly n roots, including multiple and complex roots. What does this mean? Remember: Irrational and imaginary zeros come in ___________________. Thus a linear equation has ______ solution, a quadratic has ______ solutions, a cubic has ______ solutions, and so on. The zeroes do not have to be unique. For instance (𝑥 − 3)² = 0 has zeroes at 𝑥 = 3 and 𝑥 = 3. This is considered to have a double root or a multiplicity of two. So far, we have been using graphing to find the REAL zeros. What if we want to find all EXACT REAL and IMAGINARY zeros??
