Enrich · Mathematics Extension 1 11–12 – Year 12 · Further applications of calculus
Enrich 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
Extension and enrichment for students who are ready to go deeper: rich tasks, problem solving and open-ended challenges.
