SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the properties and analysis of polynomials and their roots, specifically examining the relationships between a polynomial P(x) and its derived polynomials Q(x) and T(x). The roots of Q(x) are derived by subtracting 1 from the roots of P(x), while the roots of T(x) are obtained by adding 1. The discussion provides detailed calculations for the coefficients of these polynomials, including a specific example with P(x) = x^9 - 33x^8 + 149x^7 + 4431x^6 - 45669x^5 + 9081x^4 + 1506119x^3 - 7038363x^2 + 12556936x - 7987980, and outlines the sums of coefficients and alternate coefficients for each polynomial.

Hello.

I open this 'thread', in number theory, but he also wears "calculation".

I've done a little research, I share with you.

Let \ r_1, r_2, \cdots, r_n, roots of the polynomial.

P(x)=p_0x^n+p_1x^{n-1}+ \cdots+p_{n-1}x+p_n

Let \ Q(x)=q_0 x^n+q_1x^{n-1}+ \cdots +q_n, such that its roots are:

r_1-1, r_2-1, \cdots, r_n-1

Let \ T(x)=t_0^n+t_1x^{n-1}+ \cdots +t_n, such that its roots are:

r_1+1, r_2+1, \cdots, r_n+1

I will assume:

p_0=q_0=t_0=1Therefore:

\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^n(p_i)=q_n

and

\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^n(p_i)(-1)^{i+1}=t_n, if “n” it's even.

\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^n(p_i)(-1)^i=t_n, if “n” it's odd.

Also I have found how to calculate "complete", recurrently cited polynomials.

Example:

P(x)=x^9-33x^8+149x^7+4431x^6-45669x^5+9081x^4+1506119x^3-7038363x^2+12556936x-7987980

Sum of coefficients=-995328, addition and subtraction of alternate coefficients=-29030400

Roots:-11, -7, 2, 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 19.Q(x)=x^9-24x^8-79x^7+4634x^6-17676x^5-149768x^4+1177824x^3-2853504x^2+2833920x-995328

Sum of coefficients=0, addition and subtraction of alternate coefficients=-7987980

Roots:-12, -8, 1, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 18.T(x)=x^9-42x^8+449x^7+2380x^6-67152x^5+296240x^4+931632x^3-10983168x^2+30862080x-29030400

Sum of coefficients=-7987980, addition and subtraction of alternate coefficients=-71442000

Roots:-10, -6, 3, 3, 4, 6, 8, 14, 20.

This procedure can be useful for the analysis of the possible roots of the polynomial, and its factorization.

Regards.

Hello.

Continuing with the topic.

I'm going to show, with an example, as it would generate a polynomial, with the roots of the original polynomial, decreased in 1 unit:

P(x)=x^9-33x^8+149x^7+4431x^6-45669x^5+9081x^4+1506119x^3-7038363x^2+12556936x-7987980

Sum of coefficients=-995328

Roots:-11, -7, 2, 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 19.Q(x)=x^9-24x^8-79x^7+4634x^6-17676x^5-149768x^4+1177824x^3-2853504x^2+2833920x-995328

Roots:-12, -8, 1, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 18.
1º) Separate term=Sum of coefficients of P(x)=-995328

2º) Coefficient of x:

Coefficient of x, the new polynomialQ(x)=Sum of coefficients \dfrac{P'(x)}{1}=2833920.

3º) Coefficient of x^2:

\dfrac{P''(x)}{2}=36x^7-924x^6+3129x^5+66465x^4-456690x^3+54486x^2+4518357x-7038363.

Sum of coefficients=-2853504.

4º) Coefficient of x^3:

\dfrac{P'''(x)}{3!}=84x^6-1848x^5+5215x^4+88620x^3-456690x^2+36324x+1506119.

5º) Coefficient of x^4:

\dfrac{P''''(x)}{4!}=126x^5-2310x^4+5215x^3+66465x^2-228345x+9081.

6º) Coefficient of x^5:

\dfrac{P'''''(x)}{5!}=126x^4-1848x^3+3129x^2+26586x-45669.
