    Coefficient: An expression multiplying one of the monomials of the polynomial. Root (or zero) of a polynomial: Given a polynomial p(x), the x values that satisfy p(x) = 0 are called roots (or zeroes) of the polynomial p. Graphing. End behaviour – Concavity – Orientation – Tangency point – Inflection point – Point where concavity changes.

  3. Newton's identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_identities

    One can obtain explicit formulas for the above expressions in the form of determinants, by considering the first n of Newton's identities (or it counterparts for the complete homogeneous polynomials) as linear equations in which the elementary symmetric functions are known and the power sums are unknowns (or vice versa), and apply Cramer's rule ...

  4. Polynomial identity testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_identity_testing

    In mathematics, polynomial identity testing (PIT) is the problem of efficiently determining whether two multivariate polynomials are identical. More formally, a PIT algorithm is given an arithmetic circuit that computes a polynomial p in a field , and decides whether p is the zero polynomial.

    The degree of the zero polynomial 0 (which has no terms at all) is generally treated as not defined (but see below). [9] For example: is a term. The coefficient is −5, the indeterminates are x and y, the degree of x is two, while the degree of y is one.

  7. Hilbert's seventeenth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_seventeenth_problem

    Given a multivariate polynomial that takes only non-negative values over the reals, can it be represented as a sum of squares of rational functions? Hilbert's question can be restricted to homogeneous polynomials of even degree, since a polynomial of odd degree changes sign, and the homogenization of a polynomial takes only nonnegative values ...

    The twisted cubic is a projective algebraic variety.. Algebraic varieties are the central objects of study in algebraic geometry, a sub-field of mathematics.Classically, an algebraic variety is defined as the set of solutions of a system of polynomial equations over the real or complex numbers.
