If the constant term a 4 = 0, then one of the roots is x = 0, and the other roots can be found by dividing by x, and solving the resulting cubic equation, a 0 x 3 + a 1 x 2 + a 2 x + a 3 = 0. {\displaystyle a_{0}x^{3}+a_{1}x^{2}+a_{2}x+a_{3}=0.\,}
The roots of the quadratic function y = 1 / 2 x 2 − 3x + 5 / 2 are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.
Because (a + 1) 2 = a, a + 1 is the unique solution of the quadratic equation x 2 + a = 0. On the other hand, the polynomial x 2 + ax + 1 is irreducible over F 4, but it splits over F 16, where it has the two roots ab and ab + a, where b is a root of x 2 + x + a in F 16. This is a special case of Artin–Schreier theory.
Place the result (+x) below the bar. x 2 has been divided leaving no remainder, and can therefore be marked as used. The result x is then multiplied by the second term in the divisor −3 = −3x. Determine the partial remainder by subtracting 0x − (−3x) = 3x. Mark 0x as used and place the new remainder 3x above it.
is the number of collisions made (in ideal conditions, perfectly elastic with no friction) by an object of mass m initially at rest between a fixed wall and another object of mass b 2N m, when struck by the other object. [1] (This gives the digits of π in base b up to N digits past the radix point.)
An integral quadratic form has integer coefficients, such as x 2 + xy + y 2; equivalently, given a lattice Λ in a vector space V (over a field with characteristic 0, such as Q or R), a quadratic form Q is integral with respect to Λ if and only if it is integer-valued on Λ, meaning Q(x, y) ∈ Z if x, y ∈ Λ.

P(x) will be divided by Q(x) using Ruffini's rule. The main problem is that Q(x) is not a binomial of the form x − r, but rather x + r. Q(x) must be rewritten as = + = (). Now the algorithm is applied: Write down the coefficients and r. Note that, as P(x) didn't contain a coefficient for x, 0 is written:
