Theorems about Roots of Polynomial Equations and The fundamental theorem of Algebra To solve equations using the Rational Root Theorem. To use the conjugate Root Theorem. To use the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra to solve polynomial equations with complex solutions Rational Root Theorem. Conjugate Root Theorem. Descartes’ Rule of Signs. Fundamental theorem of Algebra. Factoring a polynomial can be challenging, but there is a theorem to help you with that. Rational Root Theorem 2 21 x 29 x 10 0 Example: Factors of the leading coefficient: 1,3,7, and 21 Factors of the constant term: 1,2,5, and 10 Problem 1: Finding a Rational Root What are the rational roots of 2 x 3 x 2 2 x 5 0 Leading coefficient 2 (±1,±2) and constant term 5 (±1, ±5) The only possible rational factor of constant term roots have the form factor of leading coefficient The only possible roots are 1,5, 1 , 5 2 x P(x) 1 -1 5 -5 1/2 8 0 240 280 6 -1/2 7 2 5/2 35 2 -5/2 75 2 the only rational root of 2 x 3 x 2 2 x 5 0 is 1 Note: the Rational Root Theorem does not necessarily give the zeros of the equation. It provides a list of first guesses to test as roots Your turn What are the rational roots of x 3-5 x 2 -2 x 10 0?

Continue finding roots and dividing until you have a second degree polynomial. Use the Quadratic Formula to find the remaining roots. Problem 2: Using the Rational Root Theorem What are the rational roots of 15 x 3 32 x 2 3 x 2 0 ? Leading coefficient 15 (±1,±3,±5,±15) and constant term 2(±1, ±2) The only possible rational roots have the form 1, 2 , factor of constant term factor of leading coefficient 1 2 1 2 1 2 , , , , , 3 3 5 5 15 15 Test each possible rational root in 15 x 3 32 x 2 3 x 2 0 until you find a root Test: x=1 x2 1513 3212 31 2 12 0 152 3 322 2 32 2 0 So 2 is a root, now factor the polynomial using synthetic division 2 15 15 -32 3 2 30 -4 -2 -2 -1 0 15 x 2 2 x 1 P x x 2 15 x 2 2 x 1 5 x 13 x 1 0 5x 1 0 1 x5 3 x-1 0 x 1 3 1 1 The rational roots of 15 x 32 x 3 x 2 0 are 2 , , 5 3 3 2 Remember steps to find rational roots. 1. Get the constant term factors and the leading coefficient of the polynomial. factor of constant term 2. Find all possible rational roots factor of leading coefficient 3.Test each possible rational root until you find a root. 4. Factor the polynomial until you get a quadratic. (you can use synthetic division, quadratic formula, a calculator, or any other method).when using TI-84 or 85 store the polynomial in using the 1 Y= menu. Store the root to be tested inY x(enter the number then press the key STO). Use VARS Y-VARS 1: Function Y1 to evaluate. Your turn: What are the rational roots of 2 x 3 x 2 7 x 6 0 Answer: 2,-1,-3/2 Did you remember what is a conjugate number? a bi and a bi are conjugates a b and a b are conjugates If a complex number or an irrational number is a root of a polynomial equation with rational coefficients, so is its conjugate. Conjugate Root Theorem: If P(x) is a polynomial with rational coefficients, then the irrational roots of P(x)=0 that have a form a b occur in conjugate pairs. That is, If a b is an irrational root with a and b rational then a b is also a root. If P(x) is a polynomial with real coefficients, then the complex roots of P(x)=0 occur in conjugate pairs. That is a bi is a complex root with a and b real, then a bi is also a root. Problem 3:Using the Conjugate Root Theorem to identify Roots. A quartic polynomial P x has rational coefficients. If 2 and 1 i are roots of P(x) 0 what are the other two roots? Answers: Remember all rational numbers are real numbers. The other two roots are - 2 and 1 i Your turn A cubic polynomial P(x) has real coefficients. 5 If 3-2i and are two roots of P(x) 0, What is the additional root? 2 Answer 3 2i Problem 4: Using the Conjugates to construct A Polynomial A. What is a third deg ree polynomial function y P(x) with rational coefficients so that P(x) 0 has the roots -4 and 2i? Answer: Since 2i is a root, then -2i is also a root P(x) x 2i x 2i x 4 multiply P(x) x 2 4 x 4 P(x) x 3 4 x 2 4 x 16 0 B. What quartic polynomial equation has roots 2-3i, 8, 2? Answer: Descartes’ Rule of Signs Theorem: Let P(x) be a polynomial with real coefficients written in standard form. *The number of positive real roots of P(x) is either equal to the number of sign changes between consecutive coefficients of P(x) or is less than that by an even number. *The number of negative real roots of P(x)=0 is either equal to the number of sign changes between consecutive coefficients of P(-x) or is less than that by an even number. In both cases, count multiple roots according to their multiplicity This theorem implies that two tests must be done on a polynomial function to determine both positive and negative real roots. Problem 5: Using the Descartes’ Rule of Signs. What the Descartes' Rule of Signs tell you about the real roots of x3 x2 1 0 There are two sign changes, + to – and - to +. Therefore, there are either 0 or 2 positive real roots. To find the negative real root you need to plug in -x into the polynomial P x x 3 x 2 1 0 P x x 3 x 2 1 0 There is only one negative real root Graph the function and recall that cubic functions have zero or two turning points. Because the graph already shows two turning points, it will not change the direction again. So there are no positive real roots. Your turn A.What does Descartes' Rule of Signs tell you about the real roots of 2 x4 x3 3 x2 1 0 Answers: there are 3 or 1 positive real roots and 1 negative root. The graph confirm one negative and one positive real Root B.Can you confirm real and complex roots graphically? Explain Real roots can be confirmed graphically because they are x-intercepts. Complex roots cannot be confirmed graphically because they have an imaginary component. Take a note: the degree of a polynomial equation tells you how many roots the equation has. That is the result of the Fundamental theorem of Algebra provided by the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) The fundamental Theorem of Algebra: If P(x) is a polynomial of degree n≥1, then P(x)=0 has exactly n roots, including multiple and complex roots Problem 6: Using the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra What are all the roots of x 5 x 4 3 x 3 3 x 2 4 x 4 0 I need to find the zeros(5) and using the rational root and factor theorem, synthetic division and factoring Using the rational root the possible rational roots are 1,2,4 Evaluate the polynomial function for x 1 P( 1 ) 0 , 1 is a root and ( x 1 ) is a factor Then use synthetic division 1 1 -1 - 3 3 -4 1 0 -3 0 1 0 -3 0 -4 x4 3x2 4 4 -4 0 x 5 x 4 3 x 3 3 x 2 4 x 4 x 1 x 4 3 x 2 4 The factors are -4 and 1 x2 4 0 x2 4 x 2 Answers: x 1 x 2 4 x 2 1 x2 1 0 x 2 1 x2 1 x i x 1 x 2 x 2 x i x i so the roots are 1,2 ,2 ,i ,i Your turn What are all the roots of the equation x 4 2 x 3 13 x 2 10 x?
