Sum and product of polynomial roots and the conjugate root theorem.
Want a deeper conceptual understanding? Try our interactive lesson!
A polynomial with degree n has n roots. These roots are not necessarily distinct, and not always real.
For a polynomial's roots:
For a polynomial with real coefficients, if a complex number z is a root, then the conjugate z⋆ must also be a root.
