Fundamental Theorem Of Algebra
(your text)
Every Polynomial Equation with a degree
higher than zero has at least one root in the
set of Complex Numbers.
COROLLARY:
A Polynomial Equation of the form P(x) = 0
of degree ‘n’ with complex coefficients has
exactly ‘n’ Roots in the set of Complex
Numbers.
Real/Imaginary Roots
If a polynomial has ‘n’ complex roots will its
graph have ‘n’ x-intercepts?
3
y  x  4x
In this example, the
degree n = 3, and if we
factor the polynomial, the
roots are x = -2, 0, 2. We
can also see from the
graph that there are 3
x-intercepts.
Real/Imaginary Roots
Just because a polynomial has ‘n’ complex
roots doesn’t mean that they are all Real!
In this example,
however, the degree is
still n = 3, but there is
only one Real x-intercept
or root at x = -1, the
other 2 roots must have
imaginary components.
y  x 3  2x 2  x  4

Descartes’ Rule of Signs
Arrange the terms of the polynomial P(x) in
descending degree:
• The number of times the coefficients of the terms
of P(x) change sign = the number of Positive Real
Roots (or less by any even number)
• The number of times the coefficients of the terms
of P(-x) change sign = the number of Negative
Real Roots (or less by any even number)
In the examples that follow, use Descartes’ Rule of Signs to
predict the number of + and - Real Roots!
State the possible number of positive real zeros,
negative real zeros, and imaginary zeros of
Since p(x) has degree 6, it has 6 zeros. However, some of
them may be imaginary. Use Descartes Rule of Signs to

Find Roots/Zeros of a
Polynomial
We can find the Roots or Zeros of a polynomial by
setting the polynomial equal to 0 and factoring.
Some are easier to
factor than others!
3
f (x)  x  4x
 x(x 2  4)
 x(x  2)(x  2)
The roots are: 0, -2, 2
Find Roots/Zeros of a
Polynomial
If we cannot factor the polynomial, but know one of the
roots, we can divide that factor into the polynomial. The
resulting polynomial has a lower degree and might be
easier to factor or solve with the quadratic formula.
f (x)  x  5x  2x  10
one root is x  5
3
2
x2  2
x  5 x 3  5x 2  2x  10
(x - 5) is a factor
We can solve the resulting
polynomial to get the other 2 roots:
x  2,  2

x 3  5x 2
 2x  10
2x  10

Find Roots/Zeros of a Polynomial
If the known root is imaginary, we can use the Complex
Conjugates Theorem.
Ex: Find all the roots of
If one root is 4 - i.
f (x)  x 3  5x 2  7x  51
Because of the Complex Conjugate Theorem, we know that
another root must be 4 + i.
Can the third root also be imaginary?
Consider…
Descartes: # of Pos. Real Roots = 2 or 0
Descartes: # of Neg. Real Roots = 1
Example (con’t)

2
Ex: Find all the roots of f (x)  x  5x  7x  51
If one root is 4 - i.
If one root is 4 - i, then one factor is [x - (4 - i)], and
Another root is 4 + i, & another factor is [x - (4 + i)].
Multiply these factors:
 x   4  i    x   4  i    x 2  x  4  i   x  4  i    4  i  4  i 
 x 2  4 x  xi  4 x  xi  16  i 2
 x 2  8 x  16  (1)
 x 2  8 x  17

Ex: Find all the roots of f (x)  x  5x  7x  51
If one root is 4 - i.

If the product of the two non-real factors is x  8x 17
then the third factor (that gives us the neg. real root) is

Finding Roots/Zeros of
Polynomials
We use the Fundamental Thm. Of Algebra, Descartes’ Rule
of Signs and the Complex Conjugate Thm. to predict the
nature of the roots of a polynomial.
We use skills such as factoring, polynomial division and the
quadratic formula to find the zeros/roots of polynomials.
