Grade 11 Polynomials and Rational Expressions CCSS: HSN-CN.C.9
Jeremy is working with the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, and thinks he's found an exception. Looking at f(x)=4(x-1)2, this will result in only one root, x=1. Therefore, despite this being a second degree polynomial, there is only one root. Is this correct?
- Yes, this is a known exception.
- No, this is not a polynomial, it is a quadratic function.
- No, if the quadratic formula is used, the other root is found.
- No, this root has multiplicity of 2, which means it counts as two roots.
