Homework Statement
The two polynomial eqns have the same coefficients, if switched order:
a_0 x_n+ a_1 x_n-1 + a_2 x_n-2 + … + a_n-2 x_2 + a_n-1 x + a_n = 0 …….(1)
a_n x_n+ a_n-1 x_n-1 + a_n-2 x_n-2 + … + a_2 x_2 + a_1 x + a_0 = 0 …….(2)
what is the connection between the roots of the eqns?
2. The attempt at a solution
i don't know how to do this at all!
i thought maybe divide through by the first terms coeff... but that doesn't seem to help. maybe there is some kowledge I'm missing. something about how to work out the roots?
please help!
