    B1 G. Factor Theorem, Remainder Theorem, Binomial Theorem

    Uploaded by

    Marianne Lou Palomar
    1) The factor theorem states that if a polynomial function f(x) equals 0 at a value a, then (x - a) is a factor of the polynomial. This allows polynomials to be factored. 2) The remainder theorem says that when a polynomial f(x) is divided by (x - a), the remainder is equal to the value of f(a). 3) The binomial theorem gives properties for expanding binomial expressions of the form (a + b)^n, including that there are n+1 terms, the first term is a^n and last is b^n, and the exponents of a and b in each term sum to n.

    FACTOR THEOREM, REMAINDER

    THEOREM & BINOMIAL THEOREM

    A:The Factor Theorem


    The Factor Theorem

    A simple quadratic function can be factorised by


    inspection e.g. Consider
    f ( x)  x 2  2 x  3
    The factors are ( x  1)( x  3)
    From the factors, we can see that the zeros of
    the functions are
    x  1 and x  3
    So, f (1)  (1) 2  2(1)  3  0
    f (3)  (3) 2  2(3)  3
     963  0
    Reversing this process enables us to factorise
    cubics ( and polynomials of higher degrees )
    The Factor Theorem

    e.g. If f (x)  x 3  7 x 2  9x  3
    x  1  f (  1)  (  1) 3  7(  1) 2  9(  1)  3
     1 7 9 3
     0

    f (  1)  0  ( x  1) is a factor

    ( Notice the change of sign )


    For a polynomial function f ( x ), the factor theorem
    says that:
    if f (a )  0 then ( x  a ) is a factor
    The Factor Theorem

    Factorising a Cubic Function


    3 2
    e.g.1 Find a linear factor of x  2 x  3 x  2
    3 2
    Solution: Let f ( x )  x  2 x  3x  2
    Try a = 1: f (1)  (1) 3  2(1) 2  3(1)  2
     1 2 3 2  0
    f (1)  0  ( x  1) is a factor

    Once we have found one factor of a cubic, the other


    factor, which is quadratic, can be found by inspection.
    Sometimes this quadratic factor will also factorise
    The Factor Theorem
    3 2
    e.g.2 Factorise fully x  2 x  5 x  8
    Solution: We use the factor theorem to find one
    linear factor:
    Let f ( x)  x 3  2 x 2  5 x  8
    The linear factor can only contain
    numbers that are factors of 8.
    We could try any of x  1,  2,  4,  8
    f (1)  1  2  5  8  12  0  ( x  1 ) is not a factor
    f (1)  1  2  5  8  0  ( x  1 ) is a factor
    These numbers suggest that ( x  1 ) could be a factor
    3 2
    So, x  2 x  5 x  8  ( x  1)  ( quadratic factor )
    The quadratic factor can be found by inspection.
    The Factor Theorem
    Exercises
    Factorise the following cubics:
    1. x 3  7 x 2  14 x  8
     ( x  1)( x 2  6 x  8)
     ( x  1)( x  2)( x  4)

    2. x 3  7 x 2  16 x  12
     ( x  2)( x 2  5 x  6)
     ( x  2)( x  2)( x  3)
    3. x3  2x2  2x  4
     ( x  2)( x 2  2)
    The Factor Theorem
    REMAINDER THEOREM
    If a polynomial f(x) is divided by (x – a),
    the remainder is the constant f(a), and

    f(x) = q(x) ∙ (x – a) + f(a)

    where q(x) is a polynomial with degree


    one less than the degree of f(x).

    Dividend equals quotient times divisor plus remainder.
