How many real roots will a 3rd degree polynomial have?
A third degree polynomial could have one or three real roots.
Why is roots of even or odd hurwitz polynomial found on the jw axis only?
Actually, the roots of a Hurwitz polynomial are in the left half of the complex plain, not on the imaginary axis. As for the reason, that is because the polynomial is DEFINED to be one that has that kind of roots.
How do you factor a polynomial with the equation of 6A2 - B 2?
The given polynomial does not have factors with rational coefficients.
How do you determine the number of real roots in a polynomial?
For a general polynominal, the cubic, quartic, and greater formulæ are too hellishly hard to work with, so you would need to plot the function or use Newton's/somesuch method to count the real roots by hand. If the polynomial has integral roots, you can use synthetic division to peel off the degrees to see if they factor wholely into binominals; then all roots will be real and explicit. Good luck:
What are some similarities and differences between quartic and cubic functions?
The similarities are that they are polynomial functions and therefore continuous and differentiable.A real cubic will has an odd number of roots (and so must have a solution), a quartic has an even number of roots and so may have no solutions.
What is the relationship between the degree of a polynomial and the number of roots it has?
In answering this question it is important that the roots are counted along with their multiplicity. Thus a double root is counted as two roots, and so on. The degree of a polynomial is exactly the same as the number of roots that it has in the complex field. If the polynomial has real coefficients, then a polynomial with an odd degree has an odd number of roots up to the degree, while a polynomial of even degree has an even number of roots up to the degree. The difference between the degree and the number of roots is the number of complex roots which come as complex conjugate pairs.
How do you find out the number of imaginary zeros in a polynomial?
Descartes' rule of signs (see related link) can help you determine the maximum number of real roots. If the polynomial is odd powered, then there will be at least one real root. Any even powered polynomial can be factored into a bunch of quadratics [though they may not be rational or even pretty], and any odd-powered polynomial can be factored into a bunch of quadratics and one linear (this one would have the real root). So the quadratics may have pairs of real or complex roots (having an imaginary component).To clarify, when I say complex, I'm referring to the fact that there will be an imaginary component to the root, because actually the real numbers is a subset of the set of complex numbers.The order of the polynomial will tell you how many roots it will have. If you can graph the polynomial, then you can see if it crosses the x axis. If it is a 5th order polynomial, and crosses the x axis 3 times, then there are 3 real roots (the other two roots are complex).
What are the roots of polynomial?
The "roots" of a polynomial are the solutions of the equation polynomial = 0. That is, any value which you can replace for "x", to make the polynomial equal to zero.
Is it true that the degree of polynomial function determine the number of real roots?
Sort of... but not entirely. Assuming the polynomial's coefficients are real, the polynomial either has as many real roots as its degree, or an even number less. Thus, a polynomial of degree 4 can have 4, 2, or 0 real roots; while a polynomial of degree 5 has either 5, 3, or 1 real roots. So, polynomial of odd degree (with real coefficients) will always have at least one real root. For a polynomial of even degree, this is not guaranteed. (In case you are interested about the reason for the rule stated above: this is related to the fact that any complex roots in such a polynomial occur in conjugate pairs; for example: if 5 + 2i is a root, then 5 - 2i is also a root.)
How can you quickly determine the number of roots a polynomial will have by looking at the equation?
In the complex field, a polynomial of degree n (the highest power of the variable) has n roots. Some of these roots may be multiple roots. However, if the domain is the real numbers (or a subset) then there is no easy way. The degree only gives the maximum number of roots - there may be no real root. For example x2 + 1 = 0.
How many real roots will a 3rd degree polynomial have?
A third degree polynomial could have one or three real roots.
Why is roots of even or odd hurwitz polynomial found on the jw axis only?
Actually, the roots of a Hurwitz polynomial are in the left half of the complex plain, not on the imaginary axis. As for the reason, that is because the polynomial is DEFINED to be one that has that kind of roots.
The polynomial 4x2 plus 5x plus 4 has how many roots?
None, it involves the square root of a negative number so the roots are imaginary.
Roots of a polynomial that can be written in the form p q are called roots?
Rational roots
Which polynomial has rational coefficients a leading leading coefficient of 1 and the zeros at 2-3i and 4?
There cannot be such a polynomial. If a polynomial has rational coefficients, then any complex roots must come in conjugate pairs. In this case the conjugate for 2-3i is not a root. Consequently, either (a) the function is not a polynomial, or (b) it does not have rational coefficients, or (c) 2 - 3i is not a root (nor any other complex number), or (d) there are other roots that have not been mentioned. In the last case, the polynomial could have any number of additional (unlisted) roots and is therefore indeterminate.
How do you find multiple t?
You find a multiple of a number by multiplying that number by any whole number.
How many real roots do we have if the polynomial equation is in degree six?
Such an equation has a total of six roots; the number of real roots must needs be even. Thus, depending on the specific equation, the number of real roots may be zero, two, four, or six.
