The problem states:
Let p(x) be a polynomial in x of degree n with n≥2. Recall that, according to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, p(x) has n number of roots in the complex number set. Suppose all roots of p(x) are real and distinct. Prove that the roots of p′(x) are all real.
I know and kind of understand the proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, but I do not know how to extend it to p′(x). Any thoughts?
Thanks!
