Find the Zeros of the Polynomial Using Factors

If x-2 is a factor of x^2+5x+7, then that means.....

• f(0) = 2

• f(0) = -2

• f(2) = 0

• f(-2) = 0

Identify the zeros:

• x=-2, x=-1, x=0

• x=-2, x=0

• x=-1, x=0, x=2

• x=-2, x=0, x=1

What are the zeros of the polynomial function?

y = (x + 2)(x - 7)³

• -2, 7 multiplicity 3

• -2, 7, 3

• 2, -7 multiplicity 3

• 2, -7, 3

Find the zeros of the polynomial given one factor. Use synthetic division.

• X= 3,4,5

• x=-3,-4,-5

• x=-3,4,5

• x= 3, -4, -5

Find the zeros of the polynomial given one factor.

• X= 3,4,5

• x=-3,-4,-5

• x=-3,4,5

• x= 3, -4, -5

• X= -3,5,-5

• x=-3,5,-5

• x=-3,4,5

• x= 3, 5, -5

Find all zeros.

Which x-value is a root of the function below?

• x = 3

• x = -3

• x = 4

• x = -4

Which best describes the multiplicity of a root?

• It is the number of times the corresponding factor is repeated

• It is the highest degree of the polynomial

• It is the number of times x is multiplied by itself

• It is the number of x-intercepts on a graph

Find the zeros of the polynomial.

Hint: (x-2) is a factor

First do the list of P/Q, then test the possible rational zeros using SYNTHETIC DIVISION, then find the remaining zeros

• A

• B

• C

• D
