4.1 Polynomial Long Division and Synthetic Division
When the division cannot be completed by factoring, polynomial long division is used and closely resembles whole number division
In the division process, zero “place holders” are sometimes used to ensure that like place values will “line up” as we carry out the algorithm

4.1 Polynomial Long Division and Synthetic Division
If one number divides evenly into another, it must be a factor of the original number
The same idea holds for polynomials
This means that division can be used as a tool for factoring
We need to do two things first
a. Find a more efficient method for divisionb. Find divisors that give a remainder of zero

4.2 The Remainder and Factor Theorems

The Factor Theorem
Given P(x) is a polynomial,1. If P(r) = 0, then (x-r) is a factor of P(x).2. If (x-r) is a factor of P(x), then P(r) = 0

4.3 The Zeroes of Polynomial Functions
The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
Every complex polynomial of degree n≥1 has at least one complex root.
Our search for a solution will not be fruitless or wasted, solutions for all
polynomials exist.The fundamental theorem combined with the factor
theorem enables to state the linear factorization theorem.

4.3 The Zeroes of Polynomial Functions
The Rational Roots Theorem (RRT)
Given a real polynomial P(x) with degree n ≥ 1 and integer coefficients, the rational roots of P (if they exist) must be of the form p/q, where p is a factor of the constant term and q
is a factor of the lead coefficient (p/q must be written in lowest terms)

Tests for 1 and -1
1. If the sum of all coefficients is zero, x = 1 is a rood and (x-1) is a factor.
2. After changing the sign of all terms with odd degree, if the sum of the coefficients is zero, then x = -1 is a root and (x+1) is a
factor.

4.4 Graphing Polynomial Functions
THE END BEHAVIOR OF A POLYNOMIAL GRAPH
If the degree of the polynomial is odd, the ends will point in opposite directions:1. Positive lead coefficient: down on left, up on right (like y=x3)
2. Negative lead coefficient: up on left, down on right (like y=-x3)
If the degree of the polynomial is even, the ends will point in the same direction:3. Positive lead coefficient: up on left, up on right (like y=x2)
4. Negative lead coefficient: down on left, down on right (like y=-x2)

4.7 Polynomial and Rational Inequalities – An Analytical View
Solving Polynomial Inequalities
Given f(x) is a polynomial in standard form pg 4521. Use any combination of factoring, tests for 1 and -
1, the RRT and synthetic division to write P in factored form, noting the multiplicity of each zero.
2. Plot the zeroes on a number line (x-axis) and determine if the graph crosses (odd multiplicity) or bounces (even multiplicity) at each zero. Recall that complex zeroes from irreducible quadratic factors can be ignored.
3. Use end behavior, the y-intercept, or a test point to determine the sign of the function in a given interval, then label all other intervals as P(x) < 0 or P(x) > 0 by analyzing the multiplicity of neighboring zeroes.
4. State the solution using interval notation, noting strict/non-strict inequalities.
