1 Rational Root and Complex Conjugates Theorem

2 Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
Every polynomial of degree n has exactly n roots.

3 Rational Root Theorem Used to find possible rational roots (solutions) to a polynomial Possible Roots : P/Q Where P represents the factors of the constant of the polynomial and Q represents the factors of the leading coefficient

4 Rational Root Theorem

5 Find all possible rational roots and then find ones that work.

6 Another example

7 Rational Root Theorem

8 Complex Conjugates Theorem
If a + bi is a zero of the polynomial, then a – bi is a zero also. Ex. Find the polynomial whose zeros include 3 and 2 – i

9 Find the lowest degree polynomial with the following roots

10 Find the lowest degree polynomial with the following roots
