1. 3.3 Real Zeros of
Polynomials
Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about
anything, but in everything by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests
be made known to God. And the peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding, will guard
your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
3. Rational Zeros Theorem
If P(x) = an x + an−1 x
n n−1
+ an−2 x n−2
+ ... + a1 x + a0
has integral coefficients, then every rational zero
p
of P(x) is of the form where
q
p is a factor of the constant term, and
q is a factor of the leading coefficient.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful
committed people can change the world; indeed
it is the only thing that ever has.”
