5 Copyright © 2011 Pearson, Inc. Slide 2.5 - 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) = 0 2. k is a zero of the function f. 3. x – k is a factor of f(x).
