9.9 The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
Every polynomial equation with complex coefficients and positive degree n has exactly n complex roots. You may have to count the same number more than once if it is a root. double

Theorem: If a polynomial equation with real coefficients has
Theorem: If a polynomial equation with real coefficients has as a root (a and b real), then is also a root. In other words, imaginary roots come in pairs Just like we did with quadratic equations, we can also write the equation of any polynomial from its roots. complex conjugates
