Zeros
of Polynomial Functions Book Description:
In this book we study the Zeros of Polynomial Functions.
Let f be a polynomial function and c be a real number. Then
x = c is a zero of the function f if x = c is a solution
of the polynomial equation f(x) = 0, i.e., f(c) = 0. In
that case, (x - c) is a factor of the polynomial f(x), and
the graph of f(x) crosses the the x-axis at the point (c,0).
The
book has a command line that will allow you to define arbitrary
polynomials and graph them. You may trace points along the
curve, also. The Factor command will attempt to factor the
polynomials that you supply, and you may also solve polynomial
equations using the Expert system.
