If is a polynomial function of a degree
,
then has excatly
linear factors and
.
Where is some non zero real number,
are the complex zeros of
.
The zero is .
Using the linear factorization therom and the zero , the polynomial
can be written as follows.
, where
can be any non zero real number.
Let .
Write the function in the standard form.
\.
.
Since is a factor
when
.
The least degree polynomial function with integer coefficients that has as a zero is
or any non multiple of
.
.
