Section 3-5Finding Real Roots of Polynomial Equations
Objectives Identify the multiplicity of roots
Use the Rational Root Theorem and the Irrational Root Theorem to solve polynomial equations
![Page 2: Objectives Identify the multiplicity of roots Use the Rational Root Theorem and the Irrational Root Theorem to solve polynomial equations](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ee55503460f94bf3cb1/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
As with some quadratic equations, factoring a polynomial equation is one way to find its real roots
Factoring Polynomials in Quadratic Form (Degree 4 or Higher)◦ Follow previous factoring rules◦ Remember rules of exponents when creating
binomials Recall the Zero Product Property
◦ You can find the roots, or solutions, of the polynomial equation P(x) = 0 by setting each factor equal to 0 and solving for x

4x6 + 4x5 – 24x4 = 0
x3 – 2x2 – 25x = –50

Sometimes a polynomial equation has a factor that appears more than once. This creates a multiple root.
In the root, 0, is a multiple root. ◦ For example, the root of 0 is a factor FOUR times
because . 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 can use a graphing calculator to see roots You cannot always determine the multiplicity
of a roots from a graph. It is easiest to determine multiplicity when
the polynomial is in factored form. If you can’t factor, use synthetic division to
help you. Get the root for synthetic from the graphing
calculator

x3 + 6x2 + 12x + 8 = 0
x4 + 8x3 + 18x2 – 27 = 0
x4 – 8x3 + 24x2 – 32x + 16 = 0
Identify the roots of each equation. State the multiplicity of each root

Not all polynomials are factorable, but the Rational Root Theorem can help you find all possible rational roots of a polynomial equation.◦ Also known as the “p over q” theorem

Use the Rational Root Theorem to list all possible rational roots.

Polynomial equations may also have irrational roots

The Irrational Root Theorem says that irrational roots come in conjugate pairs◦ For example, if you know that is a root of x3 – x2
– 3x – 1 = 0, then you know that 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
