    Where g is a polynomial function of degree n-1

    Oh I am so sorry. I forgot to post it. I need to show that if f(a)=0 for some a \in \mathbb{R}, the either f is constant or f(x)=(x-a)g(x), where g is a polynomial function of degree n-1

    Where g is a polynomial function of degree n-1

    ok I see. I do the same thing then for question 2 right ?

    Where g is a polynomial function of degree n-1

    For the first part, I understood: we will get f(0)=c_0=0 which is a constant However show that f(x)=xg(x) doesn't seem so obvious to me

    Where g is a polynomial function of degree n-1

    Since 0 is a root of f, the polynomial x divides the polynomial f. Therefore, there exists g such that xg(x)=f(x). However, if we write p the degree of g, degree of f= p+1 (since xg(x)=f(x)). Therefore if f equals zero, g equals zero. If not p=n-1

    Where g is a polynomial function of degree n-1

    Let [ tex ]f(x)=\sum_{i=0}^n c_i x^i[ / tex ] be an arbitrary polynomial function of degree n Show that if f(0)=0 then either f is constant or f(x)=xg(x), where g is a polynomial function of degree n-1 I don't know how to start. Please help Thank you in advance

    Total distance flown by bee between two approaching trains

    Let d_0: distance traveled during the first flight from Aville toward the train near Bville. d_0=ut t:some time d': distance each train travels on the first flight d'=vt We have d_0+d'=d d_0/d'=(ut)/(vt) <=> d'/d_0=v/u <=> d'=(v/u)d_0 d_0+(v/u)d_0=d <=> d_0=(u/(u+v))d...

    Exploring Wave Interference and Quantum Mechanics: A Swimming Pool Problem

    Just want to verify question e: E=hf=6.626*10^-34*1=7*10^-34 Question f(i): 1/2mv^2=hf Which means that: m=2hf/v^2 Therefore: m=(2*7*10^-34)/(1.0*10^-3)=1.4*10^-30 g

    Exploring Wave Interference and Quantum Mechanics: A Swimming Pool Problem

    Ok. Is the sketch similar to the one I used in order to answer question c)(i) If so, how to I use it for question d) ?

    Total distance flown by bee between two approaching trains

    Homework Statement Consider two trains moving in opposite directions on the same track. The trains start simultaneously from two towns, Aville and Bville, separated by a distance d. Each train travels toward each other with constant speed v. A bee is initially located in front of the train...
