In this concept you will be finding the zeroes of a polynomial that is not factorable. Not only that, but you will also find the imaginary zeroes, even though this concept is similar to concept 6, remember that you will be finding imaginary numbers in this concept. You will be using the skills from previous concepts like p's and q's, Descartes's Rule of Signs and synthetic division and a skill from earlier units like either completing the square or using the quadratic formula.
Be careful when doing synthetic division because you might make a mistake if you rush and that can keep you from finding your zero hero resulting in taking a longer time to solve a problem (which is terrible when taking a test). Also be careful when using the quadratic formula, make sure your signs are correct and you have the correct terms in place. Make sure than when you are using the Rule of Signs, you are changing the ones that have a negative exponent and keeping the ones with a positive exponent the same!
