  • (5-15) all

5.5 Part 1 Theorems About Roots of Polynomial Equations



  • read Problems 1 and 2 on pg 333

  • Aim 1: to find a rational root (then copy Problem 1). The book actually does a decent job of explaining this so much so that I don't think I could say it better myself and that's rare...

  • Aim 2: to use the rational root theorem to find the rational roots of an equation (once again, now you should copy Problem 2. Don't forget to copy the paragraph right above Problem 2!!!! That paragraph is part of Problem 2) The only thing I want you to change is Step 3. Step 3 should say, " Now use synthetic division to test each possible rational root to see if it is an ACTUAL root. It is an ACTUAL ROOT if there is no remainder!

  • (1-19) odd

  • yes, you might want to call a friend or 2 and work on these problems together!

  • Sharing is caring!.... =)

5.4 Dividing Polynomials Part 2




  • (6-19) all
  • For my girl T.J. in first hour, the last two quotes are for you.  He never deserved you. Someone better will come along.
  • PARENTS!!!!
  • I need your help!  Please Please Please make sure your child takes the time to REVIEW AND PRACTICE notes/problems from lessons 5.4, 5.3, 5.2, and 5.1!  They are coming into class not remembering very important concepts from these lessons!

5.3 Solving Polynomial Equations




  • (7-23) odd



  • DO THESE PROBLEMS AND CHECK YOUR ANSWERS!!!!



  • you will have 40 problems like these on Monday to turn in for credit so it is important that you try these problems over the weekend and check your answers to see whether or not you understand otherwise, you will not know how to do the 40 problem worksheet i have planned for you in my absence!

  • 1st HOUR!: we did not have enough time to finish the notes so I have taken pictures of the 3 slides that you NEED to copy! You won't need these notes for this weekend's HW, but you will NEED them for the 40 problems I am giving you on Monday! So please copy them or print them. Just make sure you have them for Monday!
