THEOREM
REMAIN THEOREM:
the polynomial
DER If P(X)
divided by X-C, is
then the remainder is
P(C).
Possible roots:
±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±9,
±12,
±18, ±36
If x= 1:
f(1) = (1)4 – 13(1)2 +
36 = 1 – 13(1) + 36
= 1 – 13 + 36
= 24
Therefore, x=1 is not a root and
(x-1) is not a factor.
If x= -1:
f(-1) = (-1)4 – 13(-1)2 +
36 = 1 – 13(1 + 36
)
= 1 – 13 + 36
= 2 x=-1 is not a root
Therefore,
4 is not a factor.
and (x+1)
If x= 2:
f(2) = (2)4 – 13(2)2 + 36
= 16 – 13(4) + 36
= 16 – 52 + 36
= 0
Therefore, x=2 is a root and (x-
2) is a factor.
If x= -2:
f(-2) = (-2)4 – 13(-2)2 + 36
= 16 – 13(4 + 36
)
= 16 – 52 + 36
= 0 x=-2 is a root and
Therefore,
(x+2) is a factor.
If x= 3:
f(3) = (3)4 – 13(3)2 +
36 = 81 – 13(9) + 36
= 81 – 117 + 36
= 0
Therefore, x=3 is a root and
(x-3) is a factor.
If x= -3:
f(-3) = (-3)4 – 13(-3)2 +
36 = 81 – 13(9) + 36
= 81 – 117 + 36
= 0
Therefore, x=3 is a root and
(x-3) is a factor.
