THEORY OF EQUATIONS

A
  1. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
  2. The Remainder Theorem
  3. The Factor Theorem
30
Q

States that every polynomial equation of degree n with complex number coefficients has n roots, or solutions, in the complex numbers. The roots can have a multiplicity greater than zero. It also states that every single-variable polynomial with complex coefficients has at least one complex root.

A

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

31
Q

If a polynomial f(x) is divided by (x-k) , the remainder is f(k).
