x10 – 6 = y
x10 – 6 x10 –6=0
y = x10 – 6
P(x) = x10 – 6
x + 10 = y
x + 10 x + 10 = 0 y = x + 10
P (x) = x + 10
Lesson # 19
Objectives
1. Define a polynomial equation
and polynomial function
2. Prove and apply the
“Remainder Theorem”
In a polynomial expression
3x4 – 2x3 + 4x2 + 10x + 6, give the
corresponding polynomial equation
and polynomial function.
3x 4 – 2x 3+ 4x2+ 10x + 6 = 0
P(x) = 3x4 – 2x3 + 4x2 + 10x + 6
y = 3x4 – 2x3 + 4x2 + 10x + 6
A polynomial equation is an equation of
the form anxn + an-1xn-1+ an-2xn-2 +… + a1x
+ a0 = 0.
A polynomial function is a function of the
the form of P(x) = anxn + an-1xn-1+ an-2xn-2
+…+a1x+ a0 where n is a non- negative
integer and an, an-1, an-2,…, a1, a0 are any
real numbers.
Write the polynomial using the variable x
that will result to a polynomial equation
and polynomial function.
n = 3, a3 = -2, a2 = 4, a1 = 5, a0 = 6
– 2x3 + 4x2 + 5x + 6 = 0
P(x) = – 2x3 + 4x2 + 5x + 6

Synthetic Division Remainder Theorem
P(x) = 2x 3+ 9x2+ 13x+ 2 ; x + 3
P(x)= 2x3+ 9x2+13x + 2 ÷ x+3
x+3=0
-3 2 9 13 2 x = -3
-6 -9 -12 P(-3) = 2(-3)3 + 9(-3)2 + 13(-3) + 2
2 3 4 -10 P(-3) = 2(-27) + 9(9) + (-39) + 2
𝟏𝟎 P(-3) = -54 + 81 + (-39) + 2
2x2 + 3x + 4 – P(-3) = 27 + (-37)
𝒙+𝟑
P(-3) = -10 Therefore, the3 remainder
when P(x) = 2x + 9x2+13x+2
The remainder is -10. P(c) = R is divided by x + 3 is -10
Synthetic Division Remainder Theorem
P(x)= –2x3 + 5x2 – x + 7 ÷ x – 1 P(x) = –2x3 + 5x2 – x + 7; x – 1
x–c

-2 3 2 P(1) = –2x3 + 5x2 – x + 7
-2 3 2 9 P(1) = –2(1)3 + 5(1)2 – (1) + 7
𝟗 P(1) = –2 + 5 -1 +7
-2x2 + 3x + 2 + P(1) = –2 + 11
𝒙−𝟏
P(1) = 9 Therefore, the remainder
The remainder is 9. when P(x)= -2x3+ 5x2 – x + 7
P(c) = R is divided by x – 1 is 9.
