    The fundamental theorem of algebra shows that any non-zero polynomial has a number of roots at most equal to its degree, and that the number of roots and the degree are equal when one considers the complex roots (or more generally, the roots in an algebraically closed extension) counted with their multiplicities. [3]

    To establish that every complex polynomial of degree n > 0 has a zero, it suffices to show that every complex square matrix of size n > 0 has a (complex) eigenvalue. [13] The proof of the latter statement is by contradiction. Let A be a complex square matrix of size n > 0 and let I n be the unit matrix of the same size. Assume A has no eigenvalues.

    This definition of a multiplicities by deformation was sufficient until the end of the 19th century, but has several problems that led to more convenient modern definitions: Deformations are difficult to manipulate; for example, in the case of a root of a univariate polynomial, for proving that the multiplicity obtained by deformation equals ...

  5. Quartic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_equation

    A quartic equation where a 3 and a 1 are equal to 0 takes the form a 0 x 4 + a 2 x 2 + a 4 = 0 {\displaystyle a_{0}x^{4}+a_{2}x^{2}+a_{4}=0\,\!} and thus is a biquadratic equation , which is easy to solve: let z = x 2 {\displaystyle z=x^{2}} , so our equation turns to

  6. Eigendecomposition of a matrix - Wikipedia

    The linear combinations of the m i solutions (except the one which gives the zero vector) are the eigenvectors associated with the eigenvalue λ i. The integer m i is termed the geometric multiplicity of λ i. It is important to keep in mind that the algebraic multiplicity n i and geometric multiplicity m i may or may not be equal, but we ...

    In polynomials with one indeterminate, the terms are usually ordered according to degree, either in "descending powers of x", with the term of largest degree first, or in "ascending powers of x". The polynomial 3x 2 − 5x + 4 is written in descending powers of x. The first term has coefficient 3, indeterminate x, and exponent 2.

    Godoy allegedly abducted the woman at 4:45 a.m. on Christmas Eve, forcing her into the backseat of her car as she headed to work in Haltom City, just outside of Fort Worth, police said.

  9. Minimal polynomial (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    T 3 ⋅ e 1 = −4T 2 ⋅ e 1 − T ⋅ e 1 + e 1, so that: μ T, e 1 = X 3 + 4X 2 + X − I. This is in fact also the minimal polynomial μ T and the characteristic polynomial χ T : indeed μ T, e 1 divides μ T which divides χ T, and since the first and last are of degree 3 and all are monic, they must all be the same.
