Slide Number 1

Title Slide

Welcome to this tutorial on Roots of Polynomials.
Slide Number 2

Learning Objectives

In this tutorial, we will learn:
  • To plot graphs of polynomial equations
  • About complex numbers, real and imaginary roots
  • To find extrema and inflection points
Slide Number 3

Pre-requisites

www.spoken-tutorial.org

To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with
  • GeoGebra interface
  • Basics of coordinate system
  • Polynomials
  • If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website.
Slide Number 4

System Requirement

Here I am using:
  • Ubuntu Linux operating system version 14.04
  • GeoGebra 5.0.388.0-d
Let us begin with the binomial theorem.
Slide Number 5

Binomial Theorem

Binomial theorem states that if a, b Єℝ, index n is a positive integer,

  • 0 ≤ r ≤n, then
  • (a + b)n = nC0 an + nC1 an-1 b1 + nC2 an-2 b2 + … + nCr an-r br + … + nCn bn

Reminder: nC1 = n!/[1! (n-1)!]

a and b are real numbers.

index n is a positive integer.

r lies between 0 and n.

Binomial theorem states that a plus b raised to n can be expanded as shown.

Slide Number 6

Quadratic Equations and Roots

  • A second degree polynomial, y = a x2+ b x+ c has roots
  • x=- b ± sqrt{( b 2-4 ac)/2a }
  • where ▲= b2-4ac
  • When ▲< 0, roots are complex
  • When ▲=0, roots are real and equal
  • When ▲>0, roots are real and unequal
Quadratic Equations and Roots

A 2nd degree polynomial, y equals a x squared plus b x plus c has roots given by values of x.

x is equal to ratio of minus b plus or minus squareroot of b squared minus 4 a c to 2 a.

Where discriminant Delta is equal to b squared minus 4 a c

When Delta is less than 0, roots are complex

When Delta is equal to 0, roots are real and equal

When Delta is greater than 0, roots are real and unequal

Slide Number 7

Quadratic Equations and Roots

  • When roots are real, ax2+b x+ c =0 has extremum (xv, yv)
  • xv = - b/2a and yv= a xv2+ b xv+ c
When roots are real, ax squared plus b x plus c equals 0 has extremum xv comma yv

xv equals minus b divided by 2 a and yv equals axv squared plus bxv plus c

Let us look at complex numbers.
Slide Number 8

Complex numbers, XY plane


  • A complex number is expressed as z = a + bi: where 'a' = real part, bi = imaginary part, and a and b are constants.
  • Imaginary number, i = sqrt{-1}
  • In the XY plane, a + bi is point (a, b).
  • In the complex plane, x axis = real axis, y axis = imaginary axis.
Complex numbers, XY plane

A complex number is expressed as z equals a plus bi.


a is the real part; bi is imaginary part;a and b are constants


i is imaginary number and is equal to square root of minus 1.


In the XY plane, a plus bi corresponds to the point a comma b.


In the complex plane, x axis is called real axis, y axis is called imaginary axis.

Slide Number 9

Complex numbers, complex plane

  • In complex plane, z is a vector with real axis coordinate a and imaginary axis coordinate b


  • Length of the vector z = |z| = r

Complex numbers, complex plane

In complex plane, z is a vector.


Its real axis coordinate is a and imaginary axis coordinate is b.


The length of the vector z is equal to the absolute value of z and to r.


According to Pythagoras’ theorem, r is equal to squareroot of a squared plus b squared.

Point of inflection (PoI) on a curve is the point where curve changes direction.

  • To find co-ordinates of PoI (x,y), we equate 2nd derivative of given function to 0
  • Solve to get x (x co-ordinate of PoI)
  • Substitute this x in original function to get y co-ordinate
Point of inflection

A point of inflection PoI on a curve is the point where the curve changes its direction.
