What did zero say to eight? Hey, nice belt. Haha.
So.. zeros. The factors show where the zeros are, that's the connection between the two, for example, (x+1), means that at -1, there is a zero. Division helps us factor polynomials because we need to use the quadratic formula to completely factor it and to use sed formula, we need three variables, and long division or synthetic division helps us find those three variables. The degree of the polynomial shows us how many zeros we need to find, for example, if the formula was f(x)=x^4-3x^3-x^2-2x-4 we could tell by looking at the first variable that we need to find four zeros because the first x is raised to the fourth power. That always tells us how many factors there are, even though multiplicity counts and some zeros may be repeated. Thanks Mr. Kelly, have a great day! :)
