  2. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    [1] Solving an equation f(x) = g(x) is the same as finding the roots of the function h(x) = f(x) – g(x). Thus root-finding algorithms can be used to solve any equation of continuous functions. However, most root-finding algorithms do not guarantee that they will find all roots of a function, and if such an algorithm does not find any root ...

  3. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

    In the polynomial + the only possible rational roots would have a numerator that divides 6 and a denominator that divides 1, limiting the possibilities to ±1, ±2, ±3, and ±6. Of these, 1, 2, and –3 equate the polynomial to zero, and hence are its rational roots (in fact these are its only roots since a cubic polynomial has only three roots).

  4. Zero of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_of_a_function

    In mathematics, a zero (also sometimes called a root) of a real-, complex-, or generally vector-valued function, is a member of the domain of such that () vanishes at ; that is, the function attains the value of 0 at , or equivalently, is a solution to the equation () =. [1] A "zero" of a function is thus an input value that produces an output ...

  5. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    Moreover, the hypothesis on F′ ensures that X k + 1 is at most half the size of X k when m is the midpoint of Y, so this sequence converges towards [x*, x*], where x* is the root of f in X. If F ′ ( X ) strictly contains 0, the use of extended interval division produces a union of two intervals for N ( X ) ; multiple roots are therefore ...

  6. Bisection method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_method

    A few steps of the bisection method applied over the starting range [a 1;b 1]. The bigger red dot is the root of the function. The bigger red dot is the root of the function. In mathematics , the bisection method is a root-finding method that applies to any continuous function for which one knows two values with opposite signs.

  7. Complex conjugate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_conjugate

    Geometric representation (Argand diagram) of and its conjugate ¯ in the complex plane.The complex conjugate is found by reflecting across the real axis.. In mathematics, the complex conjugate of a complex number is the number with an equal real part and an imaginary part equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.

  8. Prime number theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number_theorem

    for all x > 1. Suppose now that ζ(1 + iy) = 0. Certainly y is not zero, since ζ(s) has a simple pole at s = 1. Suppose that x > 1 and let x tend to 1 from above. Since () has a simple pole at s = 1 and ζ(x + 2iy) stays analytic, the left hand side in the previous inequality tends to 0, a contradiction.
