A real number a is a zero of a function y = f (x)if and only if f (a) = 0.
A polynomial function of degree n has at most n zeros.
Real Zeros of Polynomial Functions
If y = f (x) is a polynomial function and a is a real number then the following statements are equivalent.
1. x = a is a zero of f.
2. x = a is a solution of the polynomial equation f (x) = 0.
3. (x – a) is a factor of the polynomial f (x).
4. (a, 0) is an x-intercept of the graph of y = f (x).

Synthetic division is a shorter method of dividing polynomials.
This method can be used only when the divisor is of the form
x – a. It uses the coefficients of each term in the dividend.
Example: Divide 3x2 + 2x – 1 by x – 2 using synthetic division.
3 2 – 12
Since the divisor is x – 2, a = 2.

Factor Theorem: A polynomial f(x) has a factor (x – k) if and
only if f(k) = 0.
Example: Show that (x + 2) and (x – 1) are factors of
f(x) = 2x 3 + x2 – 5x + 2.
