Solving polynomial equations
Today we will use factoring techniques to solve polynomial equations of higher order. The degree of the equation will help determine the number of roots.

Degree of a polynomial
• We determine the degree by arranging the equation in standard form and look at the largest exponent.

Finding the roots with algebra
• We can try factoring to find roots…• Examples:
1) f (x) =x3 +6x2
2) f(x) =x3 +2x2 + x

Finding the roots with algebra
• We can try factoring to find roots…• Examples:
1) f (x) =x3 +6x2
x2 (x+6)=0x=0,−6
2) f(x) =x3 +2x2 + x
x(x2 +2x+1)→ x(x+1)2 =0x=0,−1

Third degree equation
• Factor by grouping: x3 −4x−5x2 +20 =0x3 −4x−5x2 +20 =0
(x3 −5x2 )−(4x−20) =0
x2 (x−5)−4(x−5) =0
(x2 −4)(x−5) =0(x−2)(x+2)(x−5) =0x=2,−2,5
