SV#1:Unit F Concept 10- Finding all real and imaginary zeroes of a polynomial


What is this problem about?
So this problem is based off the Unit F Concept 10. Through this we solve out the problem multiple different little tricks. Including Descartes Rules of Sign, synthetic division, the quadratic formula and factoring. In a whole this is just solving finding zeroes for a 4th degree polynomial.

What does the viewer need to pay special attention to in order to understand?
So before you watch the whole video pause after the problem is listed. Try to complete yourself then if you get stuck go along with the video. Somethings to watch out when using Descartes Rules of Signs make sure that when solving for possible negative real zeroes that the odd degrees will change signs. Also when solving the quadratic equation make sure that the square root is simplified as much as possible. Those are just the most important things to watch out for, other than that your good to go!
