Rational Roots Theorem
CAKES POLYNOMIAL FUNCTION
The roots of the polynomial 3x 3 + 78x 2 + 488x are:
X1 = 0
X2 = 13 + 1 3 57
X3 = 13 1 3 57
First we will factor our x. 3x2 + 78x + 488 = x 3x 2+ 78x + 488x, x = 0 is a root of
multiplicity 1. The remaining roots can be found by solving equation 3x 2 + 78x +
488 = 0. 3x2 + 78x + 488 = 0 is a quadratic equation. Then use the Quadratic
equation to get the roots of the equation.

BOX POLYNOMIAL FUNCTION

The roots of the polynomial 3x 3 + 104x 2 + 908x + 560 are:
x2 = 2/3
x2 = 14
x3 = 20
This is a polynomial of degree 3. To find zeros for polynomials of degree 3 or higher
we use Rational Root Test. The Rational Root Theorem tells you that if the
polynomial has a rational zero then it must be a fraction p q , where p is a factor of
the trailing constant and q is a factor of the leading coefficient . The factors of the
leading coefficient (3) are 1 3 . The factors of the constant term (560) are 1 2 4 5 7
8 10 14 16 20 28 35 40 56 70 80 112 140 280 560 . Then the Rational Roots Tests
yields the following possible solutions: 1/1 , 1/3 , 2 1 , 2 /3 , 4/1 , 4/3 ,
5/1 , 5/3 , 7/ 1 , 7/ 3 , 8/ 1 , 8/ 3 , 10/ 1 , 10/ 3 , 14 /1 , 14/ 3 ,

 16/1 , 16/3 , 20/1 , 20/3 , 28/1 , 28/3 , 35/1 , 35/3 , 40/1 , 40/
3 , 56/1 , 56/3 , 70/1 , 70/3 , 80/1 , 80/3 , 112 /1 , 112/ 3 , 140 /
1 , 140/ 3 , 280/ 1 , 280/3 , 560/1 , 560/ 3 Substitute the POSSIBLE roots
one by one into the polynomial to find the actual roots. Start first with the whole
numbers. If we plug these values into the polynomial P(x), we obtain P( 2 3 ) = 0.
To find remaining zeros we use Factor Theorem. This theorem states that if p q is
root of the polynomial

INTERVIEW:
When we Interviewed a Baker, he said that it will cost a lot. He said that each inch 3
of the cake cost 2 pesos at selling retailed price because of the cost of the
production.
Since we have a total volume of the cake which is 3392 inch 3
Total Cost=(Total Volume of the Cake)(
= (3392 inch 3)(

2 pesos
1 cubic inch )

2 pesos
1 cubic inch )

= 6784 pesos
Thus, we conclude that the cake we made-to-other cost 6784 pesos.
