Section 6.5 Rational Root Theorem!
Objectives Use the rational, irrational, and imaginary root theorems to locate all the roots of a given polynomial equation
Rational Root Theorem This only works if we have integer coefficients. Possible rational roots =
Find the rational roots of List the possible rational roots: Test using substitution or synthetic division
Use the rational root theorem to find ALL roots
The Irrational Root Theorem If is a root of a polynomial equation with rational coefficients, then the conjugate is also a root In other words, irrational roots occur in conjugate pairs. If is a root, then is a root
The Imaginary Root Theorem If the imaginary number a + bi is a root of a polynomial equation with real coefficients, then the conjugate a – bi also is a root Imaginary roots also occur in conjugate pairs
If 3, and are roots of a polynomial with integer coefficients, find two additional roots. What is the degree of this polynomial?
Find a third-degree polynomial equation with rational coefficients that has roots 3 and 1 + i
