There is no specific term for such polynomials. They may be referred to as are polynomials with only purely complex roots.

How do you completely factor x to the fourth power minus ninety one?

You want to factor (x4 -91) First notice that the factors of 91 are 1, 7, 13, and 91. If we try them all , we see that x4 -91 is a prime polynomial. Even though the polynomial is prime, that is cannot be factored over the set of rational numbers, it is factorable over the set of irrational numbers. x4 - 91 = (x2)2 - (√91)2 = (x2 - √91)(x2 + √91) = [x2 - (√√91)2](x2 + √91) = (x - √√91)(x + √√91)(x2 + √91)


Is 1 over X a polynomial?

No. A polynomial has positive powers of the variable.


How do you simplify ratio 38 over 52?

You look for a common factor between the two numbers; then you divide both numbers by this factor.


What word means sum of numbers over number of numbers?

The 'mean'.Also often referred to as the 'average'.


Is 13 over 49 in simplest form?

Yes, these numbers have no common factor.


How do you reduce 801 over 963?

By looking for common factors (numbers that are factors of both numbers), and dividing both numbers by this common factor.


Can 32 over 35 be simplified?

Nope - because there is no common factor to both numbers.


How do you determine the zeroes of a polynomial function?

In the general case, this is quite tricky. In high school, you learn some simple cases. If the polynomial is of degree 2, you can use the quadratic function. For higher degrees, in some specific cases you can use the methods taught in high school to factor the polynomial. As you might know, once the polynomial is completely factored, it is quite trivial to find the zeros. But in the general case, you need some iterative method, which is more appropriate for a computer. From Wikipedia, article "Polynomial": "Numerical approximations of roots of polynomial equations in one unknown is easily done on a computer by the Jenkins-Traub method, Laguerre's method, Durand-Kerner method or by some other root-finding algorithm." You can read about any of these methods for more information; but don't expect a formula where you just "plug in some numbers"; rather, those are iterative methods, that is, you need to repeat a certain calculation over and over until you get a root of a polynomial with the desired accuracy.


What number is the greatest common factor of a number over 50?

A single number does not have a common factor. Common factors are factors that two or more numbers have in common. The greatest common factor of a pair of numbers over 50 could be any number, depending on the pair of numbers. The greatest common factor of 51 and 100 is 1. The greatest common factor of 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56 is 1. The greatest common factor of 52 and 100 is 2. The greatest common factor of 57 and 102 is 3.


Can 24 over 32 be simplified?

Yes, 24 over 32 can be simplified. Both 24 and 32 can be divided by 8. Therefore, 24 over 32 simplifies to 3 over 4.


Can you simplify 232 over 20?

Yes. Divide both numbers by their Highest Common Factor.
