Let () be a polynomial equation, where P is a univariate polynomial of degree n.If one divides all coefficients of P by its leading coefficient, one obtains a new polynomial equation that has the same solutions and consists to equate to zero a monic polynomial.
Given a quadratic polynomial of the form + + it is possible to factor out the coefficient a, and then complete the square for the resulting monic polynomial. Example: + + = [+ +] = [(+) +] = (+) + = (+) + This process of factoring out the coefficient a can further be simplified by only factorising it out of the first 2 terms.

A polynomial with this property is known as a monic polynomial. In general it will have rational coefficients. In general it will have rational coefficients. If, however, the monic polynomial's coefficients are actually all integers, f {\displaystyle f} is called an algebraic integer .
The roots of the characteristic polynomial () are the eigenvalues of ().If there are n distinct eigenvalues , …,, then () is diagonalizable as () =, where D is the diagonal matrix and V is the Vandermonde matrix corresponding to the λ 's: = [], = [].
A constant polynomial is either the zero polynomial, or a polynomial of degree zero. A nonzero polynomial is monic if its leading coefficient is . Given two polynomials p and q, if the degree of the zero polynomial is defined to be , one has

An algebraic number is a number that is a root of a non-zero polynomial in one variable with integer (or, equivalently, rational) coefficients. For example, the golden ratio, (+) /, is an algebraic number, because it is a root of the polynomial x 2 − x − 1. That is, it is a value for x for which the polynomial evaluates to zero.
