Three Techniques for Evaluating and Finding Zeros of Polynomial Functions
Completion requirements
In this section, we will apply polynomial division techniques to analyze and evaluate polynomials. You will be able to evaluate a polynomial function for a given value using the remainder theorem and the factor theorem. These two techniques work well when the roots of a polynomial are integers. We need to use the rational zeros theorem when we have rational roots. This technique also uses polynomial division but will yield zeros that are rational numbers.
