This lesson focuses on solving higher degree polynomial equations.

 Recapitulation of the previous topic

Steps in Solving Polynomial equations


Step 1. Simplify the equation by writing it in standard form.
Step 2. Recognize a pattern within the problem. Use factoring strategies.
Step 3. Solve for the value of x.

Example 3.1
Find the roots of x 4 −13 x 2 +36=0
Solution:
Step 1. The equation is already written in standard form.
Step 2. Recognize a pattern within the problem. Notice that the equation
can be written in quadratic form.

Let x 2=n ( x ¿¿ 2)²−13 x +36=0 ¿
Substitute x 2 with n 2
n −13 n+36=0
Step 3. Solve by factoring. ( n−9 ) ( n−4 )=0
n=9∨n=4
Step 4. Substitute n=x 2
Step 5. Solve for x by using the square root property.
