Mathematics Extension 1 11–12 – Year 12 · Further applications of calculus · Multiplicity of zeroes of polynomial functions · Topic: Calculus · Year 11, 12

Use the product rule to prove that if P(x) has a zero, α, of multiplicity m > 1, then α is a zero of P'(x) of multiplicity m - 1, and use the result to determine the multiplicity of a discovered zero of P(x) and solve related polynomial problems
