The Remainder Theorem(pg 116)
If a polynomial f(x) is divided by (x c), where c isa constant, then the remainder R is f(c).
Dividend = Quotient * Divisor + Remainder
Proof (see Appendix C)
So, we can use Synthetic Division to: evaluatea function and
find pointson its graph

Rational Roots Possible zeros are +1, + 2, + 3, + 4, + 6, + 12
We use synthetic division to determine which are
zeros. And we know from Descartes Rule that there are two
positive and 2 negative roots. To narrow down the math, if you graph it on the TI-83 first, you will find
that the graph crosses the x axis in four places between4 and 4.
Using the trace key provides rational zeros at3 and 1. Using the Factor Theorem if3 and 1 are zeros, then
f (-3) = 0 and f (1) = 0.

Example #1 f(-3)=(-3)4-11(-3)2-2(-3)+12
= 8199 +6 +12=0
f(1)=(1)4-11(1)2-2(1)+12
= 1- 11 2 + 12=0
So3 and 1 are rational zeros.
From synthetic division:
f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 1)(x2 - 2x - 4)
The other two zeros are irrational numbers.

Example #2 Find all the roots off(x) = 2x3 + x2 - 6x3
We know that since the index is 3 there will be a max of
three roots. The Rational Root theorem yields p =3 q = 2
Descartes Rule shows 1 positive and 2 negative roots.
We can use the upper and lower bounds rule to eliminate somepossibilities but
It is generally faster to use the TI-83 and graph it.

Descartes Rule of Sign (pg 120) Let P(x) be a polynomial over the reals.
The number of positive roots of P(x)
Equals the number of variations in the sign of P(x) Or is fewer by an even number.
The number of negative roots of P(x)
Equals number of variations in the sign of P(-x)
Or is fewer is by an even number.
This is a useful technique for finding thezeros of a polynomial.

Descartes Rule of Signs f(x)= +3x5+9x4+5x3-x2+2x-1
Look at the signs and note where the sign change
from positive to negative or vice versa. Count the sign changes

This is the maximum number ofpositive
zeros. We might have only 1 (why not 2?).

Descartes Rule of Signs We determine the negative roots by
replacingx in the original equation and
counting the sign changes. f(-x)= +3(-x)5+9(-x)4+5(-x)3-(-x)2+2(-x)-1
f(-x)= -3x5+9x4-5x3-x2-2x-1
Which means there are 2 or 0 negative zeros.
Notice that the total number of positive andnegative zeros equals the degree of the polynomial.

Example Find the number of roots
f(x)= +2x5 - 3x4+ 4x3+ 5x2- 6x+7
Four changes, So 4, 2, or 0 positive roots.
Check for negative roots
f(-x)= +2(-x)5-3(-x)4+4(-x)3+5(-x)2-6(-x)+7
=-2x5-3x4-4x3+5x2+6x+7
One sign change. So 1 or 0 negative roots.
The maximum positive and negative roots equals 5.

Bounds for Real Roots (pg 121)In solving higher order mathematicalequations or complex engineering problems it
is sometimes useful to determine the bounds(upper and lower) for which the roots(solutions) for a given function are between.

Bounds The upper and lower bounds are
integer values of x between which the
roots (solution) of a given function lie. For instance, if the upper and lower
bound are x =3 and2 respectively,
then the roots or solutions to thefunction are between x=-3 and 2.

Bounds for Real Roots Upper Bound
Let f(x) be a polynomial over R ( meaning allreal numbers) with a positive leading coefficient.
If f(x) is divided by x-c using synthetic division, ifc>0 and the numbers in the last row are positiveor zero, c is an upper bound.
Lower Bound If c < 0 and the numbers in the last row are
alternatively positive and negative, c is a lowerbound. (This is different from your book and a loteasier to remember)

How to Locate the Bounds To find the bounds, use synthetic
division and start with any number
generally 1 for upper and1 for lower. Then continue with 2, 3, etc. until the
upper is found.
And2, -3, etc. until the lower bound isfound.
