11. The Factor Theorem: Let f(x) be a polynomial. a. If f(c) =0, then x-c is a factor of f(x). b. If x-c is a factor of f(x), then f(c) = 0. Example 4: Solve the equation 2x 3 – 3x 2 -11x + 6 = 0 given that 3 is a zero of f(x) = 2x 3 -3x 2 -11x + 6. Step 1: Use synthetic division and solve. 3| 2 -3 -11 6 6 9 -6 2 3 -2 0 The remainder is 0, which means that x-3 is a factor of 2x 3 -3x 2 -11x + 6

12. What are the factors of 2x 3 -3x 2 -11x + 6? Using synthetic division, we found the factors to be (x-3)(2x 2 + 3x-2) =0. Finish factoring: (x-3) (2x-1) (x+2) =0 X=3, x=1/2, x=-2 Find the x- intercepts. The solution set is {-2, 1/2, 3}

13. You try: f(x)= 15x 3 +14x 2 -3x -2=0, given that -1 is a zero of f(x), find all factors. Answers: -1| 15 14 -3 -2 -15 1 2 15 -1 -2 0 Factors: (x+1) (15x 2 –x -2)=0 (x+1) (5x-2)(3x+1)=0 x = -1, x= 2/5, x = -1/3 Solution Set {-1, -1/3, 2/5}

14. Based on the Factor Theorem, the following statements are useful in solving polynomial equations.
