Suppose that R(x)is a polynomial of degree?? whose coefficients are real numbers.
Also suppose that R(x) has the following zeros.
-2,3,8,-4+4i _
(a) Find another zero of R(x).?
Ans: -4-4i
------------------------
(b) What is the maximum number of real zeros that R(x) can have? ?
You did not show the degree of the polynomial. If it is "n", the max
number of Real must be n-2.
-------------------------------------
(c) What is the maximum number of nonreal zeros that R(x)can have?
