MELC: Illustrates polynomial equations using synthetic division and Remainder Theorem.
A Polynomial Equation is an equation that can be written in the form: Remainder Theorem
𝑎𝑛 𝑥 𝑛 + 𝑎𝑛−1 𝑥 𝑛−1 + ⋯ + 𝑎1 𝑥 + 𝑎0 = 0 * If a polynomial P(x) is divided by x – c, then the
where the nonnegative integer n is called the degree of the remainder R is R = P(c).
polynomial and coefficients 𝑎0 , 𝑎1, … , 𝑎𝑛 are real numbers.
𝒂𝒏 is the leading coefficient. The standard form of the equation is **A value of the variable which satisfies the
written in terms of descending powers of the variable x. polynomial equation is called a root of the equation.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES:
A. Determine whether the given equation is an example of a polynomial equation. If Yes, state its degree
(D) and leading coefficient (LC), then write it on its standard form (SF). If No, state the reason why.
B. Identify whether the given value is a root of the given polynomial equation. Use either the Remainder
Theorem or the Synthetic Division. If the given value is a root, find the other roots otherwise state the
remainder and find all the roots.
TRY IT YOURSELF!!!
