SV #1: Unit F Concept 10: Given Polynomial of 4th or 5th Degree Find ALL Zeroes, including real and complex.


                                 In this video you will learn Unit F Concept 10, which is similar to Unit F Concept 6. The difference is that you will end up with irrational zeroes at the end instead of just rational numbers. You will follow the same steps as in the Unit F Concept 6 until the end when you end up with irrational zeroes. You will learn how you found irrational zeroes in the first place, and you will learn how to put them into factor form, in factorization.
                                 One thing you need to pay close attention to is that when you write out the factors you must have a number of "x's" in the factorization equal to the degree of the equation. This means that if the equation is up to the fourth degree then you must have four "x's" in your factorization. You cannot leave the irrational zeroes without the x and count them as factors. They are not factors unless you use the proper way to turn them into factors with the variable x.
