PolynomialsIf (x – a) is a factor of P(x), then P(a) = 0
abPIf (ax – b) is a factor of P(x), then = 0
Multiple RootsIf P(x), has a root, x = a, of multiplicity m,
then P’(x) has a root, x = a, of multiplicity m - 1
Multiple RootsIf P(x), has a root, x = a, of multiplicity m,
then P’(x) has a root, x = a, of multiplicity m - 1
Proof: xQaxxP m
Multiple RootsIf P(x), has a root, x = a, of multiplicity m,
then P’(x) has a root, x = a, of multiplicity m - 1
Proof: xQaxxP m (m > 1, x = a is not a root of Q(x))
