Finding Roots of Polynomials
A 1-page practice set for 9th graders to find all roots of polynomials, including imaginary roots, using synthetic division. This worksheet builds skills in algebraic manipulation and complex number operations.
“Create a worksheet where students are finding all roots of a polynomial by using synthetic division. Make the problems have imaginary roots”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a 30-minute independent practice activity or homework assignment.
- Discussion question: How does the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra guarantee that a polynomial of degree n will have exactly n roots?
- Scaffold for struggling students: Provide a partially completed example of synthetic division with imaginary numbers.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask students to create their own polynomial with a specified number of real and imaginary roots.
