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 ) …
Viète obtained his formula by comparing the areas of regular polygons with 2 n and 2 n + 1 sides inscribed in a circle. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The first term in the product, 2 / 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}/2} , is the ratio of areas of a square and an octagon , the second term is the ratio of areas of an octagon and a hexadecagon , etc.
Moreover from Vieta's formulas, yy ′ = x 2 - q, and y ′ = x 2 - q / y . Combining this equation with x < y , one can show that y ′ < x . The new constructed point Q = ( y ′ , x ) is then in the first quadrant, on the higher branch of H , and with smaller x , y -coordinates than the point P we started with.
The characteristic polynomial of a square matrix is an example of application of Vieta's formulas. The roots of this polynomial are the eigenvalues of the matrix . When we substitute these eigenvalues into the elementary symmetric polynomials, we obtain – up to their sign – the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial, which are ...

A 23-year-old hiker who survived 13 days lost in the Australian wilderness after stumbling on two granola bars has thanked his rescuers for enduring “tough conditions” to find him.
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.
On a large baking sheet, toss 1 scant cup of cubed sweet potato, 2 oz tempeh, cubed, ½ medium red onion, cut into half-inch dice, 1 Tbsp chili powder, and 1 Tbsp avocado oil. Bake until the sweet ...
