Giraud, in asserting the truth of the fundamental theorem of algebra had a method for verifying the roots of a polynomial equation. he called it his "first faction -the sum of all the roots", "second faction - the sum of the product of the roots taken two ata time" and the "third faction -the sum of the product of the roots taken three at a time" he also required that the terms of the polynomial equation be written alternately in both sides of the equality sign. given the polynomial equation -11x+38x-40 a) rewrite the equation so that the degrees alternate on each side of the equation. b) verify that the roots are 2, 4 and 5 after you find the first faction, second faction and third faction of the roots.
