Writing a Polynomial from Irrational Zeros
In this lesson, we learn how to find the polynomial with irrational zeros. We start by writing the zeros as a set of linear factors, then using the distributive property and grouping like terms. We then notice that we can use the difference of two squares to eliminate the middle terms and simplify the polynomial. Finally, we combine like terms to arrive at the final function. This lesson is useful because it demonstrates how to handle irrational zeros, which is a common occurrence in math problems.
Finding the polynomial with irrational zeros
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
