Leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the highest power of x.
|
|
Leading coefficient is inherently non-zero
|
|
Monic polynomials: leading coefficient == 1
|
|
|
|
Rational Root Theorem:
|
|
forall P(x): polynomial of degree n with integer coefficients
|
|
forall p, q: Z such that p/q is a root of P(x)
|
|
p is a factor of a[0]
|
|
q is a factor of a[n]
