Question

2. What function types can be multiplied together to build a

new function of degree 5? How many total zeros will the
function have? How many can be imaginary?

Answer 1

To get a function of degree 5, either functions of degree 1 and 4 or functions of degree 2 and 3 should be multiplied.

This function will have a total of 5 zeros, same as its degree.

The function of degree 5 will have at least one and up to five real zeros

The rest of the zero's are imaginary.

So if has 2 real zeros, then the remaining 3 will be imaginary.

Maximum number of imaginary zero's is 4.
