SV#1: Unit F Concept 10: given polynomial of 4th or 5th degree find all zeroes

Click here to view my lesson about SV#1 unit F concept 10: Given polynomial of 4th or 5th degree, find all zeroes


In this video you will be learning how to find the zeroes to polynomials of higher degrees in this case a polynomial to the 4th degree. It will utilize the rational roots theorem, Descartes rule of signs, and synthetic division. As the video goes through every step of problem, hopefully making the process clear.

Something to pay special attention to would be Descartes rule of sign and how when finding negative real zeroes only odd roots change. Another thing would be that every step helps contribute to the next one. So if something is done wrong it's likely that the answer is wrong too. In the end you should also see the other way of writing the factors of the polynomial out.
