3.8 Polynomial Equations and Inequalities
• Methods for solving quadratic equations known to ancient civilizations
• 16th century mathematicians derived formulas to solve third and fourth degree equations
• In 1824, Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel proved it impossible to find a formula to solve fifth degree equations
• Also true for equations of degree greater than five

3.8 Solving a Polynomial Equation
Example Show that 2 is a solution of and then find all solutions of this equation.
Solution Use synthetic division.
By the factor theorem, x – 2 is a factor of P(x).

3.8 Complex nth Roots
• If n is a positive integer, k a nonzero complex number,then a solution of xn = k is called an nth root of k.e.g.
–2i and 2i are square roots of –4 since ( 2i)2 = –4
- –2 and 2 are sixth roots of 64 since (2)6 = 64
Complex nth Roots Theorem
If n is a positive integer and k is a nonzero complex number, then the equation xn = k has exactly n complex roots.

3.8 Applications and Polynomial Models
Example A box with an open top is to be constructed from a rectangular 12-inch by 20-inch piece of cardboard by cutting equal size squares from each corner and folding up
the sides.
(a) If x represents the length of the side of each square, determine a function V that describes the volume of the box in terms of x.
(b) Determine the value of x for which the volume of the box is maximized. What is this volume?
