    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

    Calculating Distance Covered by a Bee Between Two Trains: Homework Problem

    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
