  2. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

    The theorem is used to find all rational roots of a polynomial, if any. It gives a finite number of possible fractions which can be checked to see if they are roots. If a rational root x = r is found, a linear polynomial ( x – r ) can be factored out of the polynomial using polynomial long division , resulting in a polynomial of lower degree ...

  3. Factorization of polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials

    For univariate polynomials over the rationals (or more generally over a field of characteristic zero), Yun's algorithm exploits this to efficiently factorize the polynomial into square-free factors, that is, factors that are not a multiple of a square, performing a sequence of GCD computations starting with gcd(f(x), f '(x)). To factorize the ...

  4. Square root of 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_2

    This application also invokes the integer root theorem, a stronger version of the rational root theorem for the case when () is a monic polynomial with integer coefficients; for such a polynomial, all roots are necessarily integers (which is not, as 2 is not a perfect square) or irrational.

  5. Descartes' rule of signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descartes'_rule_of_signs

    In particular, when the number of sign changes is zero or one, then there are exactly zero or one positive roots. A linear fractional transformation of the variable makes it possible to use the rule of signs to count roots in any interval. This is the basic idea of Budan's theorem and the Budan–Fourier theorem. Repeated division of an ...

  6. Zero of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_of_a_function

    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]

  7. Hilbert's Nullstellensatz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_Nullstellensatz

    In mathematics, Hilbert's Nullstellensatz (German for "theorem of zeros", or more literally, "zero-locus-theorem") is a theorem that establishes a fundamental relationship between geometry and algebra. This relationship is the basis of algebraic geometry. It relates algebraic sets to ideals in polynomial rings over algebraically closed fields.

Cor – corollary. corr – correlation. cos – cosine function. cosec – cosecant function. (Also written as csc.) cosech – hyperbolic cosecant function. (Also written as csch.) cosh ...

    Obreschkoff–Ostrowski theorem: in blue and yellow, the regions of the complex plane where there should be no root for having 0 or 1 sign variation; on the left the regions excluded for the roots of p, on the right, the regions excluded for the roots of the transformed polynomial q; in blue, the regions that are excluded for having one sign ...
