Let f(x) be a cubic polynomial of the form x^3 +ax^2 +bx+c with real coefficients. 1. Deduce that either f(x) factors in R[x] as the product of three degree-one polynomials, or f(x) factors in R[x] as the product of a degree-one polynomial and an irreducible degree-two polynomial. 2.Deduce that either f(x) has three real roots (counting multiplicities) or f(x) has one real root and two non-real (complex) roots that are complex conjugates of each other.

In the Problem 5 of Homework #1, for the given coefficients a= 1,b=−1e5 and c= 1, the root formula gives two real roots r1= (−b−√∆)/(2a) = 1.0000003385357559e−05, r2= (−b+√∆)/(2a) = 9.9999999989999997e+ 04 If we plug these two roots back into the quadratic function, we obtain f(r1) =−3.3844e−07, f(r2) = 0 We see that root r1 is not correct up to the round-off error. (a) Explain what the problem is with the formula for evaluatingr1numerically? (b) Come up with a way...

Define T : P2 → R3 via T(a+bx+cx2) = (a+c,c,b−c), and let B = {1,x,x2} and D ={(1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), (0, 0, 1)}. (a) Find MDB(T) and show that it is invertible. (b) Use the fact that MBD(T−1) = (MDB(T))−1 to find T−1. Hint: A linear transformation is completely determined by its action on any spanning set and hence on any basis.
