Let P(z) be a polynomial of degree n and P′(z) be its derivative. Given a zero of P′(z), we shall determine regions which contains at least one zero of P(z). In particular, it will be shown that if all the zeros of P(z) lie in |z| < 1 and W1, W2, …, Wn−1 are the zeros of P′(z), then each of the disks |(z/2)–wj| < ½ and |z–Wj| < 1, j = 1, 2, …, n−1 contains at least one zero of P(z). We shall also determine regions which contain at least one zero of the polynomials mP(z) + zP′(z) and P′(z) under some appropriate assumptions. Finally some other results of similar nature will be obtained.
