Lesson 5. 5 DIVISION OF POLYNOMIALS

Lesson Essential Question: What are the two ways we can divide polynomials and how do we use the remainder/factor theorem? ? ?

Long Division of Polynomials

Remainders!!!

Homework: Page 366 #’s 3 – 10

Bell Work:

Example:

Synthetic Division:

Remainders!!!

Homework: Page 366 #’s 11 – 18

Bell Work:

Remainder Theorem: When using synthetic division, the remainder that you get when you divide f(x) by some binomial (x – c) is the same value that you would get if you evaluated f(c). This is easier shown by examples.

Factor Theorem: If the remainder you get when you use synthetic or long division is zero, this means that the original divisor you used is an actual factor for the polynomial. Why does this help us? ? ?

This problem is CRAZY GOOD…

Example:

Lesson 5. 6 FINDING RATIONAL ZEROS

Lesson Essential Question: How do we find all possible rational zeros for a function if it will not factor and we do not know any prior information about the function?

Rational Zero Theorem:

Or… Use your graphing calculator to estimate where a zero might be, then test it using the factor theorem!!!

Examples:

Bell Work:

Homework: Pages 374 - 376 #’s 11 – 17 odds, 25, 29, 33, 45 Find ALL ZEROS for these (this is includes complex and irrational zeros)!!! For 11 – 17 odds, sketch the graph and find the intervals at which f(x) > 0 and f(x) < 0.

Bell Work:

Classwork/Homework: Pages 374 - 375 #’s 12 – 18 evens and 28 – 34 evens 46, and 51 Find ALL ZEROS for these (this is includes complex and irrational zeros)!!! For 12 – 18, find the intervals at which f(x) < 0 and f(x) > 0. This will be collected!!!

Bell Work: You have been charged with building the base of a statue that will consist of three rectangular blocks. The three blocks have the same height of x, and the base of each block is to be a square. The bottom block will have sides of (8 x + 16), and each block above it will be half of the previous. The volume of the three cement blocks is to be 67, 200 cubic inches. Find the dimensions of each block.
