5.2 - Polynomials, Linear Factors, and Zeros

Objectives

To find zeros of a polynomial function in factored form
To write a polynomial in factored form
To write a polynomial from its zeros
To determine multiplicity of a factor of a polynomial

Math Response

If I asked you to write

$y=\left(x-2\right)\left(x^2-3x-10\right)$ in its factored form, how would you do that?

Type answer here

Deg^°

Rad

You can factor the trinomial in this example:

Zeros of a Function

The point(s) at which the function intersects the x-axis
A polynomial function of degree n can have at most n real zeros
An even degree polynomial has an even number of zeros (or no zeros)
An odd degree polynomial has an odd number of zeros

Multiple Choice

Determine the zeros of the polynomial function

$y=\left(x-2\right)\left(x^2-3x-10\right)$

$-2,\ -5,\ 2$

$-2,\ 5,\ 2$

$-2,\ -3,\ -10$

$2,\ 3,\ 10$

Math Response

Write the polynomial in its factored form:

$\left(x-1\right)\left(x^2+8x+15\right)$

Type answer here

Deg^°

Rad

Multiple Choice

Determine the zeros of the polynomial function:

$\left(x-1\right)\left(x^2+8x+15\right)$

$x=1,\ x=-3,\ x=-5$

$x=1,\ x=3,\ x=5$

$x=-1,\ x=3,\ x=5$

$x=1,\ x=8,\ x=15$

What if a factor appears more than once?

Open Ended

Write the polynomial $x^3-6x^2+9x$ in its factored form and state the multiplicity of any factors that appear more than once.

Type response here

We can also work backwards, to write a polynomial from a set of zeros.

Write a polynomial that has 2, -3, and 4 as zeros
