Multiple Roots
• Multiple roots appear in a polynomial equation that has a factor that appears more than once.
Graph on your calculator.
Notice where it touches the x-axis and what it looks like.

Rational Root Theorem
• Every rational root can be written in the form
• Where p is a factor of the constant term
• q is a factor of the leading coefficient.

Find all the real roots of each equation.
• Steps:1. List all possible roots
2. Use synthetic division until you get to a quadratic equation
3. Write the factors ( ) ( )
4. Write the zeros
These steps MUST be shown on all problems!!!
