Extending a Property of Cubic Polynomials to Higher-Degree Polynomials
Miller, David A.; Moseley, James
MathAMATYC Educator, v3 n3 p4-8 May 2012
In this paper, the authors examine a property that holds for all cubic polynomials given two zeros. This property is discovered after reviewing a variety of ways to determine the equation of a cubic polynomial given specific conditions through algebra and calculus. At the end of the article, they will connect the property to a very famous method in calculus and extend the property for higher-degree polynomials. (Contains 1 figure.)
