Slide 1: 

1. Use synthetic substitution to evaluate f (x) = x3 + x2 – 3x – 10 when x = 2. ANSWER –4 Bell Ringer WarmUps 1 2 3 6 3 6 -4

Slide 3: 

EXAMPLE 1 Use polynomial long division Divide f (x) = 3x4 – 5x3 + 4x – 6 by x2 – 3x + 5. SOLUTION Write polynomial division in the same format you use when dividing numbers. Include a “0” as the coefficient of x2 in the dividend. At each stage, divide the term with the highest power in what is left of the dividend by the first term of the divisor. This gives the next term of the quotient.

Slide 4: 

EXAMPLE 1 Use polynomial long division 4x3 – 15x2 + 4x –3x2 – 16x – 6 –25x + 9 3x2 – 3 + 4x

Slide 5: 

EXAMPLE 2 Use polynomial long division with a linear divisor Divide f(x) = x3 + 5x2 – 7x + 2 by x – 2. x2 7x2 – 7x 7x + 2 16 + 7x + 7

Slide 6: 

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 1 and 2 Divide using polynomial long division. 1. (2x4 + x3 + x – 1) (x2 + 2x – 1) 2. (x3 – x2 + 4x – 10)  (x + 2)

Slide 7: 

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 1 and 2 Divide using polynomial long division. 2. (x3 – x2 + 4x – 10)  (x + 2)

Slide 8: 

EXAMPLE 3 Use synthetic division Divide f (x)= 2x3 + x2 – 8x + 5 by x + 3 using synthetic division. SOLUTION 2 -6 -5 15 7 -21 -16

Slide 9: 

EXAMPLE 4 Factor a polynomial Factor f (x) = 3x3 – 4x2 – 28x – 16 completely given that x + 2 is a factor. SOLUTION 3 -6 -10 20 -8 16 0

Slide 10: 

EXAMPLE 4 Factor a polynomial Use the result to write f (x) as a product of two factors and then factor completely. f (x) = 3x3 – 4x2 – 28x – 16 Write original polynomial. = (x + 2)(3x2 – 10x – 8) Write as a product of two factors. = (x + 2)(3x + 2)(x – 4) Factor trinomial.

Slide 11: 

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 3 and 4 Divide using synthetic division. 3. (x3 + 4x2 – x – 1)  (x + 3) 1 -3 1 -3 -4 12 11

Slide 12: 

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 3 and 4 Factor the polynomial completely given that x – 4 is a factor. 5. f (x) = x3 – 6x2 + 5x + 12 1 4 -2 -8 -3 -12 0 (x – 4)(x –3)(x + 1)

Slide 13: 

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 5 and 6 Find the other zeros of f given that f (–2) = 0. 7. f (x) = x3 + 2x2 – 9x – 18 1 -2 0 0 -9 18 0 Zeros are -2, 3, -3

Slide 14: 

EXAMPLE 5 Standardized Test Practice SOLUTION Because f (3) = 0, x – 3 is a factor of f (x). Use synthetic division.

Slide 15: 

EXAMPLE 5 Use the result to write f (x) as a product of two factors. Then factor completely. f (x) = x3 – 2x2 – 23x + 60 The zeros are 3, –5, and 4. Standardized Test Practice = (x – 3)(x + 5)(x – 4) = (x – 3)(x2 + x – 20)
