Polynomial division and the remainder theorem

Long division, synthetic division, and why f(a) is the remainder on dividing by x − a.

Dividing polynomials works like long division of integers: divide the leading terms, multiply back, subtract, repeat. The remainder theorem says dividing f(x) by x − a leaves remainder f(a), so a is a root exactly when the division is clean. Picture it: the quotient's graph is the original with the root's factor removed. Think it: this is the Euclidean algorithm again, over polynomials instead of integers.

What is a function, really?

A rule that assigns exactly one output to each input. The vertical-line test on a graph is the same idea: no input may have two outputs.

Why do we need complex numbers?

Because x² + 1 = 0 has no real solution, and allowing one new number i with i² = −1 makes every polynomial equation solvable. They then turn out to describe rotation, waves and alternating current more naturally than real numbers do.
