Discuss the role of synthetic division in solving higher order polynomials.

• Synthetic division is only applicable to quadratic polynomials

• Synthetic division simplifies the process of dividing higher order polynomials by linear factors.

• Synthetic division is a method for finding the derivative of a polynomial function

• Synthetic division is used to multiply higher order polynomials

Explain the concept of multiplicity of roots in polynomial equations.

• Multiplicity of roots is the same as the degree of the polynomial equation

• Multiplicity of roots indicates the size of the roots in the solution set

• Multiplicity of roots in polynomial equations refers to the number of variables in the equation

• In polynomial equations, multiplicity of roots refers to the number of times a particular root appears in the solution set.
