  2. Vieta's formulas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vieta's_formulas

    Vieta's formulas are then useful because they provide relations between the roots without having to compute them. For polynomials over a commutative ring that is not an integral domain, Vieta's formulas are only valid when a n {\displaystyle a_{n}} is not a zero-divisor and P ( x ) {\displaystyle P(x)} factors as a n ( x − r 1 ) ( x − r 2 ) …

    The other root, x 2 is determined using Vieta's formulas. For all (a, b) above a certain base case, show that 0 < x 2 < b < a and that x 2 is an integer. Thus, while maintaining the same k, we may replace (a, b) with (b, x 2) and repeat this process until we arrive at the base case.

  4. Viète's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viète's_formula

    Viète's formula, as printed in Viète's Variorum de rebus mathematicis responsorum, liber VIII (1593). In mathematics, Viète's formula is the following infinite product of nested radicals representing twice the reciprocal of the mathematical constant π: = + + + It can also be represented as = = ⁡ +.

  5. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    This allows computing the multiple root, and the third root can be deduced from the sum of the roots, which is provided by Vieta's formulas. A difference with other characteristics is that, in characteristic 2, the formula for a double root involves a square root, and, in characteristic 3, the formula for a triple root involves a cube root.

  6. Elementary symmetric polynomial - Wikipedia

    In particular, the trace (the sum of the elements of the diagonal) is the value of e 1, and thus the sum of the eigenvalues. Similarly, the determinant is – up to the sign – the constant term of the characteristic polynomial, i.e. the value of e n. Thus the determinant of a square matrix is the product of the eigenvalues.

  7. Root of unity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_of_unity

    This is an immediate consequence of Vieta's formulas. In fact, the n th roots of unity being the roots of the polynomial X n – 1, their sum is the coefficient of degree n – 1, which is either 1 or 0 according whether n = 1 or n > 1.

  8. Nested radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_radical

    It follows by Vieta's formulas that x and y must be roots of the quadratic equation + = ; its = = > (≠ 0, otherwise c would be the square of a), hence x and y must be + and . Thus x and y are rational if and only if d = a 2 − c {\displaystyle d={\sqrt {a^{2}-c}}~} is a rational number.
