F20 MAT 101S Assignment E
Factoring Polynomial Functions (Content from Unit 4 in MAT 101)
Zeros
Factors
 𝑥-values that make
the function equal
0
 𝑥-values of the
𝑥-intercepts
How do zeros & factors relate?
 If 2 is a zero, then (𝑥 − 2) is a
factor.
 If -1 is a zero, then (𝑥 + 1) is a
factor.
 two expressions that multiply together
 any polynomial that divides evenly into
𝑓(𝑥)
 of the form (𝑥 − “zero of polynomial”)
 of the form (𝑥 − 𝑐)
Example – Factor: 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝟐𝒙𝟑 − 𝟓𝒙𝟐 − 𝒙 + 𝟔
*Notice this is in function notation.
Step 1: Find all possible zeros of the function. To narrow our search for zeros, we can use information from
the function to figure out numbers that could possibly be a zero.
P is the constant in the function. In our case, P is 6.
Q is the leading coefficient. In our case, Q is 2.
List all factors of P: 1, 2, 3, 6.
(What multiplied by what makes 6? Use all of those numbers.)
List all factors of Q: 1, 2.
(What multiplied by what makes 2? Use all of those numbers.)
Use
𝑃
𝑄
to find all possible zeros. Remember the zero could possibly be negative or positive.
𝑃 ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6
1 2 3 6 1 2 3 6
=
= ± ,± ,± ,± ,± ,± ,± ,±
𝑄
±1. ±2
1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2

Simplify = ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6, ± 2 , ±1, ± 2 , ±3
𝟏
𝟑
Omit Duplicates = ± 𝟐 , ±𝟏, ± 𝟐 , ±𝟐, ±𝟑, ±𝟔
So, this list gives us a list of all POSSIBLE zeros of the function above.
How do we find the ACTUAL zeros?
Step 2: Use synthetic division to find a number that gives a ZERO remainder.
Let’s start with one of the possible zeros in the list. It doesn’t matter which one you pick to try first.
Use the process for synthetic division previously taught.
Let’s try 1 as a possible zero.
1
2
-5
-1
2
-3
2
-3
-4
6

2
* So, our remainder was 2, which is not zero.
Therefore, 1 is not a zero of 𝑓(𝑥).
Let’s try -1 as a possible zero.
-1
2
-5
-2
2
-7
-1
7
6
6
-6
0
Bingo! Our remainder was zero.
Therefore, −1 is a zero of f(x), and (𝑥 + 1) is a factor of 𝑓(𝑥).
Step 3: Rewrite the equation with the new factor.
Let’s rewrite 𝑓(𝑥) with our new factor. The format will be (𝑥 – “𝑧𝑒𝑟𝑜”)(𝑞𝑢𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡).
𝑓 (𝑥) = (𝑥 + 1)(2𝑥 2 − 7𝑥 + 6)
Step 4: Using a method of factoring to factor the trinomial factor. Now that we have a semi-factored form,
let’s see what else we can do:
𝑓 (𝑥) = (𝑥 + 1)(2𝑥 2 − 7𝑥 + 6)
2𝑥 2 − 7𝑥 + 6 can be factored even further into (2𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 − 2).
*Use grouping to factor.
So, the final factored form is: 𝒇(𝒙) = (𝒙 + 𝟏)(𝟐𝒙 − 𝟑)(𝒙 − 𝟐).
𝟑
If we set each of these factors = 0, we get the zeros or solutions to 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝟎: −𝟏, 𝟐 , 𝟐.

17
(𝑥 + 4)(𝑥 − 4) (𝑥+4 ∙ (𝑥−4)) + (𝑥 + 4)(𝑥 − 4) (𝑥−4 ∙ (𝑥+4)) = (𝑥 + 4)(𝑥 − 4) ((𝑥+4)(𝑥−4))
Step 6: Write the remaining terms. 2(𝑥 − 4) + 1(𝑥 + 4) = 17
Step 7: Solve the equation remaining. (This one is not quadratic, but if it is, you would have to factor or use
other methods to solve.)
2𝑥 − 8 + 𝑥 + 4 = 17
Linear Equation: Solve for 𝑥.
3𝑥 − 4 = 17
+4
+4
3𝑥 = 21

𝑥=7
Step 8: Check your answer! Will it make the denominator equal zero?
The LCD is (𝑥 + 4)(𝑥 − 4).
Plug the possible solution(s) into the LCD & see if it makes one of the factors =0.
Let’s test 𝑥 = 7 in the LCD: (7 + 4)(7 − 4) = (11)(3) = 33 which is NOT zero, so 7 works and is a solution!
Therefore, we can use 7 as our answer.
Final Solution: 𝑥 = 7
*Note, some equations are quadratics after eliminating the fractions. Factor and solve. Check EACH possible
answer in the LCD to see if it makes it = 0. If one does and one does not, eliminate the one that makes the
LCD =0. You would only have one solution. If BOTH make the LCD = 0, your answer is NO SOLUTION
(DNE).
