Finding Real Roots of
Polynomial Equations
Sometimes a polynomial equation has a factor
that appears more than once. This creates a
multiple root. In 3x5 + 18x4 + 27x3 = 0 has two
multiple roots, 0 and –3. For example, the root 0
is a factor three times because 3x3 = 0.
The multiplicity of root r is the number of times
that x – r is a factor of P(x). When a real root has
even multiplicity, the graph of y = P(x) touches the
x-axis but does not cross it. When a real root has
odd multiplicity greater than 1, the graph “bends”
as it crosses the x-axis.

You cannot always determine the multiplicity of a
root from a graph. It is easiest to determine
multiplicity when the polynomial is in factored
form.

Example 3: Marketing Application
The design of a box specifies that its length is 4
inches greater than its width. The height is 1
inch less than the width. The volume of the box
is 12 cubic inches. What is the width of the box?
Step 1 Write an equation to model the volume of
the box.
Let x represent the width in inches. Then the length
is x + 4, and the height is x – 1.
x(x + 4)(x – 1) = 12 V = lwh.
x3 + 3x2 – 4x = 12 Multiply the left side.
x3 + 3x2 – 4x – 12 = 0

Step 2 Use the Rational Root Theorem to identify all
possible rational roots.
Factors of –12: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12
Step 3 Test the possible roots to find one that is actually a
root. The width must be positive, so try only positive rational
roots.
Use a synthetic substitution table to
organize your work. The first row
represents the coefficients of the
polynomial. The first column
represents the divisors and the last
column represents the remainders.
Test divisors to identify at least one
root.

Step 4 Factor the polynomial. The synthetic
substitution of 2 results in a remainder of 0, so 2
is a root and the polynomial in factored form is
(x – 2)(x2 + 5x + 6).
(x – 2)(x2 + 5x + 6) = 0
Set the equation equal to 0.
(x – 2)(x + 2)(x + 3) = 0
Factor x2 + 5x + 6.
x = 2, x = –2, or x = –3
Set each factor equal to 0,
and solve.

should be 2 inches.

(x – 2)(x2 + 5x + 6) = 0

Factor x2 + 5x + 6.
x = 2, x = –2, or x = –3

Finding Real Roots of
Polynomial Equations
The Irrational Root Theorem say that irrational
roots come in conjugate pairs. For example, if you
know that 1 +
is a root of x3 – x2 – 3x – 1 = 0,
then you know that 1 –
is also a root.
Recall that the real numbers are made up of
the rational and irrational numbers. You can
use the Rational Root Theorem and the
Irrational Root Theorem together to find all of
the real roots of P(x) = 0.
