Tutorial Sheet 5: Polynomials
Exercise 3:
Let the polynomial:
\[P(x) = x^3 + 4x^2 + x - 6.\]
- Show that \(-2\) is a root of the polynomial \( P(x) \).
- Deduce that \( P(x) \) is divisible by \((x + 2)\).
- Determine the real numbers \( a, b, c \) such that:
\[P(x) = (x + 2)(ax^2 + bx + c)\]
- Solve in \( \mathbb{R} \) the equation:
\[x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0.\]
- Solve in \( \mathbb{R} : P(x) \geq 0 \).
- Deduce a solution of the equation:
\[(\sqrt{x - 1})^3 + 4(\sqrt{x - 1})^2 + (\sqrt{x - 1}) - 6 = 0.\]
Exercise 4:
Let the polynomial \( P \):
\[P(x) = x^5 - 3x^4 - x^3 + 11x^2 - 12x + 4.\]
- Show that 1 is a triple root of \( P(x) \).
- Give the Taylor expansion of \( P(x) \) at the point 1.
- Factorize \( P(x) \) into irreducible polynomials in \( \mathbb{R}[x] \).
- Decompose the rational fraction \( F(x) \) defined by:
\[F(x) = \frac{x^2 - 3x + 2}{P(x)}\]
in \( \mathbb{R}(x) \).
