  1. Objectives Use the Factor Theorem to determine factors of a polynomial. Factor the sum and difference of two cubes.

  2. Recall that if a number is divided by any of its factors, the remainder is 0. Likewise, if a polynomial is divided by any of its factors, the remainder is 0. The Remainder Theorem states that if a polynomial is divided by (x – a), the remainder is the value of the function at a. So, if (x – a) is a factor of P(x), then P(a) = 0.

  3. Example 1: Determining Whether a Linear Binomial is a Factor Determine whether the given binomial is a factor of the polynomial P(x). A. (x + 1); (x2 – 3x + 1) B. (x + 2); (3x4 + 6x3 – 5x – 10)

  13. Determine whether the given polynomial is a factor of the polynomial P(x): • (x – 2); P(x) = 5x3 + x2 – 7 • (x – 8); P(x) = x5 – 8x4 + 8x – 64 • Use the zero-product property to solve the equation: • (t + 4)(t – 4) = 0 • (c + 7)(c + 2) = 0 • ( d + ¾)(d + 5/8) = 0 • (x + 5.4)(x – 3) = 0 • (5y – 1)(2y + 4) = 0 • (7t + 21)(t + 9) = 0 • (2n – 7)(5n + 20) = 0 • (2x – ½)(2x + ½) = 0
