Let us take an example of the polynomial p(x) of degree 1 as given below p(x) = 5x 1 According to the definition of roots of polynomials, 'a' is the root of a polynomial p(x), if P(a) = 0 Thus, in order to determine the roots of polynomial p(x), we have to find the value of x for which p(x) = 0 Now, 5x 1 = 0 x = 1/5Polynomial functions are the most easiest and commonly used mathematical equation It can be expressed in terms of a polynomial The polynomial equation is used to represent the polynomial function Generally, a polynomial is denoted as P(x) The greatest exponent of the variable P(x) is known as the degree of a polynomialIf x= p q is a rational solution to the polynomial equation f(x) = 0 then qx pis a factor of the polynomial f(x) and so we can use long division to write f(x) = (qx p)g(x) where g(x) is a polynomial of smaller degree We teach a version of this method in high school when students learn to solve quadratic equations by factoring Properties Of Roots Of Pol...
