If the discriminant is positive, the number of non-real roots is a multiple of 4. That is, there is a nonnegative integer k ≤ n/4 such that there are 2k pairs of complex conjugate roots and n − 4k real roots. If the discriminant is negative, the number of non-real roots is not a multiple of 4.
The discriminant of K is 49 = 7 2. Accordingly, the volume of the fundamental domain is 7 and K is only ramified at 7. In mathematics, the discriminant of an algebraic number field is a numerical invariant that, loosely speaking, measures the size of the (ring of integers of the) algebraic number field.
An alternative way of deriving the quadratic formula is via the method of Lagrange resolvents, [14] which is an early part of Galois theory. [15] This method can be generalized to give the roots of cubic polynomials and quartic polynomials , and leads to Galois theory, which allows one to understand the solution of algebraic equations of any ...
The following table shows some orders of small discriminant of quadratic fields. The maximal order of an algebraic number field is its ring of integers, and the discriminant of the maximal order is the discriminant of the field. The discriminant of a non-maximal order is the product of the discriminant of the corresponding maximal order by the ...
An integer D is called a fundamental discriminant if it is the discriminant of a quadratic number field. This is equivalent to D ≠ 1 and either a) D is squarefree and D ≡ 1 (mod 4) or b) D ≡ 0 (mod 4), D/4 is squarefree, and D/4 ≡ 2 or 3 (mod 4). [38]
The Marburg virus, which causes bleeding from the eyes, nose, and mouth, can be fatal in up to 90% of those infected
Its square is widely called the discriminant, though some sources call the Vandermonde polynomial itself the discriminant. The discriminant (the square of the Vandermonde polynomial: Δ = V n 2 {\displaystyle \Delta =V_{n}^{2}} ) does not depend on the order of terms, as ( − 1 ) 2 = 1 {\displaystyle (-1)^{2}=1} , and is thus an invariant of ...
The bed seems like a good idea. It's big, it's furry, and it's pretty darn cute. It looks like a dog's paw.But it's not great for small dogs, as the woman learned recently.
