6.6 • THE THEOREMS OF MORERA AND LJOUVILLE, AND EXTENSIONS 247
t Corollary 6.4 Let P be a polynomial of degree n 2: 1. Then P can be expressed
as the product of linear factors. That is,
P (z) = A (z -z1) (z -z2) · · · (z - z,.),
where z 1 , z2,... , Zn are the zeros of P, counted according to multiplicity, and
A is a constant.

- Factor ea.ch polynomial as a product of linear factors.
(a) P(z) = z^4 +4.
(b) P(z) =z^2 +(l +i)z+5i.
(c) P(z) = z^4 - 4z^3 +6z^2 - 4z+5.
(d) P(z) = z^3 - (3+3i)z^2 +(-1+6i)z+ 3 - i. Hint: ShowthatP(i) =0. - Let f (z) = az" + b, where the region is the disk R = {z: lzl ~ 1}. Show that
max I/ (z)I = lal + lbl.
