... When we find the roots of a polynomial equation, we are finding the places where the value of the function is ZERO. If f(x) = 0, then x is a root!!!! Now we have to connect this idea with synthetic substitution. Remember that synthetic substitution allows us to find the value of a function for a giv ...

... The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic simply states that each positive integer has an unique prime factorization. What this means is that it is impossible to come up with two distinct multisets of prime integers that both multiply to a given positive integer. To prove this, we must show two things: ...

... for any i ≤ ω(n − 1) (with ω(x) being the number of distinct prime factors function). Pratt certificates typically include witnesses not just for n but also for the prime factors of n − 1. Because a Pratt certificate requires the factorization of n − 1, it is generally only used for small numbers, w ...
