5.5 Remainder and Factor Theorems

Remainder Theorem- if a polynomial ( ) is divided by
, then the remainder is ( )
From yesterday when ( )
was divided by
the remainder was 16. Which
(
)
means when
,
(the y-value is 16).
Factor Theorem- a polynomial ( ) has a factor
Example 1- Is
a factor of

if and only if ( )
? If so, factor completely.

Example 2- One zero of ( )

is

find the other zeros.

Example 3- The profit P (in millions of dollars) for a shoe manufacturer can be modeled by
where is the number of shoes produced (in millions). The company now
produces one million shoes and makes a profit of $25,000,000, but would like to cut back on
production. What lesser number of shoes could the company produce while still making the same
profit?
