Is the fundamental theorem of algebra (for polynomials on the complex plane) equivalent to the statement that any polynomial p of degree n>0 can be written
[tex]p(z) = c(z - a_1 ) (z- a_2) \cdot \cdot \cdot (z - a_n )[/tex]
or am I missing some subtle distinction? And if not equivalent, does the theorem imply this statement?
