Adv Algebra: Polynomial Functions 260

This lesson is part of the series: Advanced Algebra, Pre Calculus

This 81 minute advanced algebra lesson studies 3rd & 4th degree polynomial functions. The lesson begins with a review of long division of a polynomial by a binomial and then introduces synthetic division. You will learn how to:
- define a polynomial function
- find the remainder using the remainder theorem
- evaluate polynomials
- find a zero of a polynomial function using the factor theorem for example and factor completely and find the zeros of f(x) = x^3 + 4x^2 + x - 6
- factor 3rd & 4th degree polynomial functions
- classify zeros as integral or rational and determine their multiplicities

This lesson contains explanations of the concepts and 18 example questions with step by step solutions plus 6 interactive review questions with solutions.
