(Hint: we will only input the value into one of the three equations, not all 3)




Rational Zero Theorem




Multiplicity of zeros on a polynomial Zeros with even multiplicity --> Graph *touches* x-

axis at that intercept




Zeros with odd multiplicity --> Graph *crosses* x-axis at that intercept




Complex Conjugates Theorem if f is a polynomial function with real coefficients, and

a+bi is a complex zero of f, then a-bi is also a zero of f
