A. Reviewing or Activity 1: Finding Roots of Polynomial Equation

presenting the new (Think-Pair-Share)
lesson
Instruction: Let the students answer the following activity.

 Given: x3- 2x2-5x + 6 = 0, find the roots of the equation.

Expected answer: -2, 1, and 3

 Guide question: Is it easy to find the roots of a polynomial

equation which is not in factored form?

Expected answer: not always easy

 We need to find a more systematic approach which is to

limit
the roots that we need to try when solving a polynomial
equation.
B. Establishing a
purpose for the Activity 2: (Group Activity)
lesson
Group the class into 6 groups and let them complete the given
table below and answer the questions that follow.

4/3, -4/3

2. Look at the roots of each polynomial equation in the

table. Are these root in the list of rational numbers in
question 1?

Expected answer: yes

3. Refer to equations 1-3 in the table. The leading coefficient

of each polynomial equation is 1. What do you observe
about
the roots of each equation to the corresponding constant
term?

Expected answer: the roots are factors of the

corresponding constant terms.

This observation is stated in the Rational Root Theorem.

C. Presenting Activity 3:
examples of the
new lesson Group Activity: Study the guided solution to the given
polynomial equations. Fill in the blanks with appropriate words,
numbers, or symbols to complete the solution.

Solve x3 + x2 - 12x –12 = 0.

Solution:
The equation has at most 3 real roots. The leading
coefficient is 1 , and its factors are 1 and -1 . The constant
term is -12 , and its factors are ± 12, ± 6, ± 4 , ± 3, ± 2 , ± 1

The possible roots of the equation are , ___, ___, ___, ___,
____, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____and ____.

(expected answer: ±12, ±6, ±4, ±3, ±2, ¿ ± 1..

To test if 1 is a root of the given equation, use synthetic

division,

1 1 1 -12 -12
1 2 -10
1 2 -10 -30

Since the remainder is _____, therefore 1 is _______ of the

equation.

Test if -1 is a root of the equation.

-1 1 1 -12 -12
-1 0 12
1 0 -12 0

Since the remainder is ______, therefore -1 is ________

of the equation.
Hence, x3 + x2 -12x -12
x+1 = x2 – 12.

We can obtain the other roots of x3 + x2 -12x -12 = 0 by

solving for the roots of x2 – 12 = 0 by using quadratic formula.
Its roots are ________ and _______.

(expected answer: 2√3 and -2√3)

Therefore, the real roots of the polynomial equation

x + x2 - 12x –12 = 0 are ______, _______, and _______.
