  2. So this means that the POSSIBLE RATIONAL ROOTS have the form

  3. Ex) What are the rational roots of ? Steps…. Find the possible rational roots. Test the possible rational roots to find a root. Factor polynomial by using synthetic division. Use factored polynomial to find other roots.

  4. Ex) What are the rational roots of ?

  5. This means that Irrational roots come in conjugate pairs Imaginary roots come in conjugate pairs

  6. Ex) A quartic polynomial P(x) has rational coefficients. If and are roots of P(x)=0, what are the other roots?

  7. Ex) What is a third degree polynomial function y = P(x) with rational coefficients so that P(x)=0 has the roots and ?

  8. Ex) What does Descarte’s Rule of Signs tell you about the real roots of ?
