Consider the equivalent equations….
x3 – 5x2 -2x +24 = 0 and (x+2)(x-3)(x-4) =0
-2, 3 and 4 are the roots of the equation.
• The product of -2,3 and 4 is 24.• Notice that all the roots are factors of the
constant term 24.• In general, if the coefficients in a polynomial
equation are integers, then any integer root of the equation is a factor of the constant term.

Both the constant and the leading coefficient of a polynomial can play a key role in identifying the rational roots of the related polynomial equation.
The role is expressed in the Rational Root Theorem.
If is in simplest form and is a rational root of the polynomial equation with integer coefficients, then p must be a factor of the constant term and q must be a factor of the leading coefficient.

In Chapter 5 you learned to find irrational solutions to quadratic equations. For example, by the Quadratic Formula, the solutions of x2 – 4x -1 =0 are 2+√5 and 2 - √5.
Number pairs of the form a+√b and a-√b are called conjugates.
![Page 45: Chapter 6 Polynomials and Polynomial Functions. In this chapter, you will … Learn to write and graph polynomial functions and to solve polynomial equations](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042501/56649e615503460f94b5d31e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
You can often use conjugates to find the irrational roots of a polynomial
equation.
Irrational Root Theorem Let a and b be rational numbers
and let √b be an irrational number. If a+ √b is a root of a polynomial equation with rational coefficients, then the conjugate a- √b also is a root.

In 1799, the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss proved that the answer to this question is yesyes. The roots of every polynomial equation, even those with imaginary coefficients, are complex numbers.
The answer is so important that his theorem is called the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra If P(x) is a polynomial of degree n>1
with complex coefficients, then P(x) = 0 has at least one complex root.
Corollary Including imaginary roots and multiple
roots, an nth degree polynomial equation has exactly n roots; the related polynomial function has exactly n zeros.

You have learned to multiply binomials using the FOIL method and the Distributive Property. If you are raising a single binomial to a power, you have another option for finding the product.
Consider the expansion of several binomials. To expand a binomial being raised to a power, first multiply; then write the result as a polynomial in standard form.

Quadratics
Before we get started let’s review. A quadratic equation is an equation that canbe written in the form , where a, b and c are real numbers and a cannot
equalzero.
In this lesson we are going to discuss quadraticinequalities.

Quadratic Inequalities
When solving inequalities we are trying to find all possible values of the variablewhich will make the inequality true.
Consider the inequality
We are trying to find all the values of x for which the
quadratic is greater than zero or positive.

For the quadratic inequality,we found zeros 3 and –2 by solving the equation
. Put these values on a number line and we can see three intervals that we will test in the inequality. We will test one value from each interval.

Summary
In general, when solving quadratic inequalities 1. Find the zeros by solving the equation you
get when you replace the inequality symbol with an equals.
2. Find the intervals around the zeros using a number line and test a value from each interval in the number line.
3. The solution is the interval or intervals which make the inequality true.
