Sections 4.5-4.6

Difficult: It was hard for me to understand some of the different ways to find roots and check irreducibility in Q[x]. I also don't understand if, in some of the theorems, some of the conditions apply and are proven true, if f(x) can still be irreducible.

Reflective: This was interesting material because it talked about how to find roots, and this is something that I can apply to my other math studies really well. I though it was interesting to learn about how to find roots in the real numbers and complex numbers, and I am looking forward to doing problems to find roots using these different theorems.
