How to prove that a polynomial is bounded below [closed]












-1














Show that if



$$P(z) = {a_n}z^{n} + {a_{n-1}}z^{n-1} + ... + {a_1}z + {a_0},$$



is a polynomial of degree $n$ then there is ${R_0} > 0$ such that for $|z| > {R_0}$ the polynomial can be bounded below as



$$|P(z)| > frac{1}{2}|{a_n}||z|^{n}.$$



How do I have to start this proof?

You can start with the triangle inequality:



$$|P(z)|geq |a_n||z|^n-|a_{n-1}||z|^{n-1}-cdots-|a_0|$$
so that
$$|P(z)|geq |a_n||z|^nleft(1-dfrac{|a_{n-1}|}{|z|}-cdots-dfrac{|a_0|}{|z|^n}right)$$
so we just need to show that
$$dfrac{|a_{n-1}|}{|z|}+cdots+dfrac{|a_0|}{|z|^n}leqdfrac{1}{2}$$
if $|z|$ is sufficiently large. But this holds since
$$lim_{|z|rightarrowinfty}dfrac{|a_{n-1}|}{|z|}+cdots+dfrac{|a_0|}{|z|^n}=0$$
You might want to formalize that last bit with $varepsilon$ and $R_0$ depending how rigorous your proof needs to be.
