Relate Factors and Zeros Using the Factor Theorem

This video tutorial explores the relationship between factors and zeros using the factor theorem. It begins with an introduction to the concepts and then delves into the remainder theorem, providing examples to illustrate its application. The video distinguishes between polynomial expressions and functions, and explains the factor theorem in detail. Finally, it demonstrates how to apply the factor theorem to determine factors and zeros, using graphs and examples to solidify understanding.

What is the difference between a polynomial expression and a polynomial function?

How does the factor theorem relate to the concept of x-intercepts in polynomial functions?

Describe how to use the factor theorem to find the factors of a polynomial given its zeros.
