Activities for Students: A Graphical Approach to Understanding the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

The fundamental theorem of algebra states, Every polynomial equation of degree n ≥ 1 with complex coefficients has at least one complex root. This fact implies that these equations have exactly n roots, counting multiple roots, in the set of complex numbers.
