An Equation That Involves Polynomial Expressions

- A polynomial equation involves expressions with variables that are raised to whole number powers. - To determine if a given value is a root of a polynomial equation, substitute the value for each variable in the equation and simplify. If the resulting equation is true, then the given value is a root. For example, substituting -2 for x in the equation x4 + 2x3 - 13x2 - 14x + 24 = 0 results in the simplified equation 0 = 0, showing that -2 is a root of the polynomial.

POLYNOMIAL

EQUATION
- An equation that
involves polynomial
expressions
Ex.
Determine if the given value of x is a
root of the given polynomial equation or
not.

𝑥 4 + 2𝑥 3 − 13𝑥 2 − 14𝑥 + 24 = 0 ; x = -2
First, we will substitute the given
root to each of the x in the
equation.

(−2)4 +2(−2)3 −13 −2 2


− 14 −2 + 24 = 0
Next, Multiply.

4 3 2
(−2) +2(−2) −13 −2 − 14 −2 + 24 = 0

16 + 2(-8) – 13(4) + 28 + 24 = 0
Next, multiply.
16 + 2(-8) – 13(4) + 28 + 24 = 0

16 – 16 – 52 + 28 + 24 = 0
Next, compute the terms.

16 – 16 – 52 + 28 + 24 = 0

0=0
Therefore, x = -2 is a root
of the given polynomial
equation.
