ALGEBRA

Factors and Zeros of Polynomials


Let px an x n an 1x n 1 . . . a1x a0 be a polynomial. If pa 0, then a is a zero of the polynomial and a solution of the equation px 0. Furthermore, x a is a factor of the polynomial.

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra


An nth degree polynomial has n (not necessarily distinct) zeros. Although all of these zeros may be imaginary, a real polynomial of odd degree must have at least one real zero.

Quadratic Formula Special Factors

If px ax 2 bx c, and 0 b2 4ac, then the real zeros of p are x b b2 4ac2a. x 2 a 2 x ax a x 3 a3 x ax 2 ax a 2 x 3 a 3 x ax 2 ax a 2 x 4 a 4 x 2 a 2x 2 a 2

Rational Zero Theorem


If px an x n a n 1x n 1 . . . a1x a0 has integer coefficients, then every rational zero of p is of the form x rs, where r is a factor of a0 and s is a factor of an.
