The Factor Theorem serves as an essential mathematical tool in identifying the roots of polynomials. It proposes that a factor (x-c) exists in a polynomial only when the polynomial's value at c is zero. Accordingly, to find the roots, it's necessary to determine the x values that render the polynomial zero.
