Pro<strong>of</strong>. Let<br />
p(z) = anz n +···+a1z +a0<br />
with an �= 0, and let g(z) := anzn � �<br />
�<br />
, so that lim �<br />
p(z)−g(z) �<br />
�<br />
|z|→∞�<br />
g(z) � = 0. Choose R > 0<br />
such that � �<br />
��� p(z)−g(z) �<br />
�<br />
g(z) � < 1<br />
for z ∈ C with |z|≥ R. Consequently, if z ∈ ∂BR(0), we have |p(z)−g(z)|< |g(z)|.<br />
By Rouché’s Theorem, p thus has as many zeros in BR(0) as g, namely n. Since p<br />
has at most n zeros, these are all <strong>of</strong> the zeros <strong>of</strong> p.<br />
