4. Two Major Theorems • Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: A polynomial function of degree n has n complex zeros( real or nonreal). Some of these zeros may be repeated. • Liner Factorization Theorem:If f(x) is a polynomial function of degree n >0, then f(x) has precisely n linear factors and •  f(x) = a(x –z1)(x –z2) ..... (x -zn) • Where a is the leading coefficient of f(x) and z1, z2,….., zn are the complex zeros of f(x). The zi are not necessarily distinct numbers; some may be repeated.

5. Fundamental Polynomial Connections in the Complex Case: The following statements about a polynomial function f are equivalent if k is a complex number.1. x = k is a solution (or root) of the equation f(x) = 02. is a zero of the function f.3.x - k is a factor of f(x).

6. Complex Conjugate Zeros Suppose that f(x) is a polynomial function with real coefficients. If a and b are real numbers with b not equal 0 and a + bi is a zero of f(x), then its complex conjugate a - bi is also a zero of f(x).

7. Factoring with Real Number Coefficients Let f(s) be a polynomial function with real coefficients. The Linear Factorization Theorem tells us that f(x) can be factored into the form       f(x) = a(x –z1)(x –z2) ..... (x -zn),Where zi are complex numbers. Recall, however, that nonreal complex zeros occur in conjugate pairs. The product of x - (a + bi) and x - (a - bi) is [x-(a+bi)][x-(a-bi)] = x^(2) - (a-bi)x - (a+bi)x + (a+bi)(a-bi) = x^(2 ) - 2ax + ((a^2) + (b^2)).

8. Factoring with Real Number CoefficientsEvery polynomial function with real coefficients can be written as a product of linear factors and irreducible quadratic factors, each with real coefficients. Polynomial Function of Odd Degree Every polynomial function of odd degree with real coefficients has at least one real zero.
