3.04 Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
Topic List

1
ISM will participate in the 27th Philippine Math Olympiad this year. We can send up to 30
students. We will choose students using a random generator system..

There are three stages of the competition. All stages will be held in person this year.
1. Qualification Stage: Saturday, November 23, 2024 @ ISM (confirmed location)
2. Area Stage: Saturday, January 25, 2025
3. National Stage: Saturday, March 8, 2025 and Sunday, March 9, 2025

If you are interested, you will need to:


1. Check to see you can meet the requirements.
2. Fill in the google form. (Be sure to get details exactly correct as this could disqualify you.)
The form will open at 8am October 15 and will close at 3pm November 6.
3. A data privacy consent form will be sent to you after registration.

Mr. Noursearcamo will register the 30 students on ISM’s behalf. If you have any questions,
please contact her directly, [email protected].

Investigation (Solutions)

● On the back table, pick up the paper investigation #1.


● One person in the group needs their laptop and a tab open to Desmos.
● Complete then together as a group. If you are the first group finished,
ask Mr. Nourse to check your answers. All successive groups will use
the red circled problems as the answer key.

Going back to quadratics

● On the back table, pick up the paper investigation #2.


● One person in the group needs their laptop and a tab open to Desmos.
● Complete then together as a group. If you are the first group finished,
ask Mr. Nourse to check your answers. All successive groups will use
the red circled problems as the answer key.
Complex Roots of Polynomials:
1) If a + bi is one root of a polynomial function, what else do we know?

2) What does this tell us about the number of complex roots a polynomial
can have?
Example 2:
Let p(x) = x3 + 4x2 - 2x - 20.
(a) State p(x) in factored form.
(b) Find all the roots?

ask Mr. Nourse to check your answers. All successive groups will use
the red circled problems as the answer key.
● Once you are finished, write at least one of these problems onto your
notes sheet.
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra:

Let be a polynomial of degree 6 and rational coefficients. The polynomial


has five distinct roots:

a) We call a root that appears twice among the roots of a polynomial a


double root of the polynomial. Explain why has a double root?

b) Which root is the double root?


Fundamental Theorem of Algebra:

What is the minimum number of real roots How many complex roots can a function
can a function have? Explain. have? Explain.

3.04 Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

Use the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra to write a polynomial function given sufficient information about its zeros
What?
The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra is really the foundation on which most study of Algebra is built. In simple terms it
Why? says that every polynomial has zeros. That means that every polynomial can be factored and set equal to zero (the
Factorization Theorem).

Formative: Test, Tasks, Check Your Understanding (CYU)


How? Summative: Performance Task, Unit Test

Polynomials are everywhere. It is found in a roller coaster of an


amusement park, the slope of a hill, the curve of a bridge or the continuity
Connections of a mountain range. They play a key role in the study of algebra, in
analysis and on the whole many mathematical problems involving them.

Check Your Understanding (CYU)
There are different levels of problems for you to choose from depending on YOUR
level of understanding. Do not only complete the problems in which you are
comfortable. Challenge yourself in order to grow your brain!
