Answers to Questions
How to calculate a polynomial root?
The general principle of root calculation is to evaluate the solutions of the equation polynomial = 0 according to the studied variable (where the curve crosses the y=0 zero axis)..
Example: The roots of the quadradic polynomial $ ax ^ 2 + bx + c $ are the solutions of the equation $ ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0 $ so $$ x = \frac{ \pm \sqrt{ b ^ 2-4ac } -b}{2 a} $$
The calculation of polynomial roots generally involves the calculation of its discriminant.
Example: For a quadratic polynomial $ ax ^ 2 + bx + c $ the discriminant is $ \Delta = b ^ 2-4 a c $
How to calculate a discriminant?
Use the polynomial discriminant calculator on dCode which automatically adapts to polynomials of degree 2, degree 3, etc. degree n.
What is a zero for a polynomial?
A zero of a polynomial function $ P $ is a solution $ x $ such that $ P(x) = 0 $, so it is the other name of a root.
What is a nt degree polynomial?
The order of a polynomial (2nd order 2 or quadratic, 3rd order or cubic, 4th order, etc.) is the value of its largest exponent.
Example: $ x^3+x^2+x $ is a polynomial of 3rd order
