SV#1: Unit F Concept 10- Finding Real and Imaginary Zeroes of a Polynomial


This is a video from Unit F Concept 10 that goes through step and step instructions for how to do this specific problem. This type of problem uses different rules like Descartes rule of signs, P/Q, and synthetic division. Not only those rules and equations but also the quadratic formula.

Make sure that when doing this problem you attempt it first and then watch the video tutorial. Some things that u should be very careful and cautious with is that when using Descartes rule of signs when finding f(x) you look at the sign of coefficient of the term. When finding f(-x) you are looking at the exponent of each term. If the exponent is even then the sign stays the same but if the exponent is odd the sign changes. Then you look at the changes of signs throughout the entire function and that will evaluate how many positive and negative zeroes there are. Also, when using synthetic division you are adding the numbers. And you are using synthetic division until you have reached to a quadratic.

I hope this video helped. Thank you for watching.
