Lesson Topic
Finding roots of polynomials
Lesson Outline
I worked with Olivia on problems to determine the roots of polynomials when one complex root was given and also when no root was given. In the case where the complex root was given, Olivia provided the conjugate of the root and we divided the product of the root and its conjugate into the polynomial. The quotient we got could be factored and so we had all the roots. Another problem required a different strategy for its solution including use of the rational root theory. There was no assignment.
