2. Formation of Equations
Definition
Let f(x) and g(x) be two polynomials. We say that g(x) divides f(x) if there
exists another polynomial h(x) such that f(x) = h(x)g(x).
Definition
A real or complex number a is called a root of the polynomial f(x) if f(a) = 0.
Remark
a is a root of f(x) if and only if x − a divides f(x) and we say that x − a is a
factor of f(x).
Definition
If r is a positive integer such that (x − a)r
divides f(x) and (x − a)r+1
does not
divide f(x), then we say α is a root of multiplicity r.

3. Theorem
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: Every polynomial of degree n > 0 has
atleast one real or imaginary root.
Theorem
Every polynomial of degree n > 0 has exactly n roots where the roots are
counted according to multiplicity r.
Theorem
For any equation with real coefficients the complex roots occur in conjugate
pairs. (i.e) If α + iβ is a root then α − iβ is also a root.
Theorem
Let f(x) be a polynomial with rational coefficients . Let α, β be rational
numbers where β > 0 and β is not a perfect square. Then if α +
√
β is a root
of f(x) = 0 then α −
√
β is also a root.

Proof :
(i) Let f(θ)= sin θ . By Taylor’s expansion of f about the origin is given by
f(θ) = f(0) + f (0) θ
1! + f (0)θ2
2! + f (0)θ3
3! + ... (1)
Now, f(θ)= sin θ ⇒f(0)= 0; f’(θ)= cos θ ⇒f’(0)= 1;
f (θ)= -sin θ ⇒f”(0)= 0; f”’(θ)= -cos θ ⇒f”’(0)= −1.
Therefore, From (1), sin θ = θ -
