Bellwork gave students practice finding all zeros of a polynomial and determining which zeros could be solutions if the polynomial represents a real-life situation.

The remainder of the period we discussed Topic 6 – Exploring “Theorems of Algebra” by introducing two theorems to the students:

The  Remainder Theorem and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.

Hwk #34 is due tomorrow:

Practice Sheet – Theorems of Algebra
