If
is a polynomial function of a degree
,
then
has excatly
linear factors and
.
Where
is some non zero real number,
are the complex zeros of
.
The zero is
.
Using the linear factorization therom and the zero
, the polynomial
can be written as follows.
, where
can be any non zero real number.
Let
.
Write the function in the standard form.
\
.
.
Since
is a factor
when
.

The least degree polynomial function with integer coefficients that has
as a zero is
or any non multiple of
.
.
