Intermediate Value Theorem: Given real numbers a & b where ...
Complex Root Theorem: Given a polynomial function, f, if a + bi is a root of the polynomial then a – bi must also be a root.
Example: Find a polynomial with rational coefficients with zeros 2, 1 + [pic], and 1 – i.
Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT): Given real numbers a & b where a < b. If a polynomial function, f, is such that f(a) ≠ f(b) then in the interval [a, b] f takes on every value between f(a) to f(b).
Examples:
1) First use your calculator to find the zeros of [pic].
Now verify the1 unit integral interval that the zeros are in using the Intermediate Value Theorem.
2) Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to find the 1 unit integral interval for each of the indicated number of zeros.
a. One zero: [pic]
b. Four zeros: [pic]
3) Given [pic]:
a. What is a value guaranteed to be between f(2) and f(3).
b. What is another value guaranteed to be there?
c. What is a value that is NOT guaranteed to be there?
d. But could your value for c be there? Sketch a graph to demonstrate your answer.
4) Given a polynomial, g, where g(0) = -5 and g(3) = 15:
a. True or False: There must be at least one zero to the polynomial. Explain.
b. True or False: There must be an x value between 0 and 3 such that g(x) = 12. Explain.
c. True or False: There can not be a value, c, between 0 and 3 such that g(c) = 25.
Explain.
Homework:
1) Find the equation of the quadratic whose only x-intercept is (-4, 0) and passes through (-2, 8)
2) Graph y = -½ x2 + ½ x + 3.
3) Given [pic]
a. What is the end behavior
b. List the possible rational roots
4) Divide: [pic]
5) Use the remainder theorem to find f(5) for f(x) from problem #3.
6) Use your calculator to approximate the real zeros and relative extrema of the following functions.
a. [pic]
b. [pic]
7) Find a polynomial function that has the given zeros.
a. 0, 4
b. 0, -2, -3
c. 4, -3, 3, 0
d. 1 + [pic]
e. 2, 4 –[pic]
8) For each of the following: (a) use the IVT to find integral intervals one in length which must contain a zero (b) now use your calculator to find the zeros (checking your answer to part (a).
a. [pic]
b. [pic]
9) For each of the following: Identify the symmetry it has (x-axis, y-axis or origin), and determine the number of x-intercepts it has. Use your calculator to verify your answer.
a. [pic]
b. [pic]
c. [pic]
d. [pic]
