Complex Polynomial Functions (5): Degree n (variant)


In the video of the page Complex Polynomial Functions I have added control about what points of the Complex Plane are depicted with colors.

The functions transform points in the Complex Plane. The transformed points have a modulus. In the applet you can see colored points with modulus in a range.

For example, in this representation of a polynomial of degree 7 with two simple roots, one double and one triple root the only points with colors are points whose transformed points have modulus between 1 and 10:

Complex power functions with natural exponent have a zero (or root) of multiplicity n in the origin.
Complex Polynomial Functions(2): Polynomial of degree 2
A polynomial of degree 2 has two zeros or roots. In this representation you can see Cassini ovals and a lemniscate.

A complex polinomial of degree 3 has three roots or zeros.
Polynomial Functions (1): Linear functions
Two points determine a stright line. As a function we call it a linear function. We can see the slope of a line and how we can get the equation of a line through two points. We study also the x-intercept and the y-intercept of a linear equation.
Polynomial Functions (2): Quadratic functions
Polynomials of degree 2 are quadratic functions. Their graphs are parabolas. To find the x-intercepts we have to solve a quadratic equation. The vertex of a parabola is a maximum of minimum of the function.
Polynomial Functions (3): Cubic functions
Polynomials of degree 3 are cubic functions. A real cubic function always crosses the x-axis at least once.
Polynomial Functions (4): Lagrange interpolating polynomial
We can consider the polynomial function that passes through a series of points of the plane. This is an interpolation problem that is solved here using the Lagrange interpolating polynomial.

Inversion
Inversion is a plane transformation that transform straight lines and circles in straight lines and circles.
Inversion: an anticonformal transformation
Inversion preserves the magnitud of angles but the sense is reversed. Orthogonal circles are mapped into orthogonal circles
Multifunctions: Powers with fractional exponent
The usual definition of a function is restrictive. We may broaden the definition of a function to allow f(z) to have many differente values for a single value of z. In this case f is called a many-valued function or a multifunction.
Multifunctions: Two branch points
Multifunctions can have more than one branch point. In this page we can see a two-valued multifunction with two branch points.
