According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, every nonconstant polynomial f (x) ∈
C[x] with complex coefficients has a complex root.
(a) Prove every nonconstant polynomial with complex coefficients is a product of linear polynomials.
(b) Use the result of the previous exercise to prove every nonconstant polynomial with real coefficients is a product of linear and quadratic polynomials with real coefficients.
