Hello.

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

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

[tex]Let \ r_1, r_2, \cdots, r_n[/tex], roots of the polynomial.

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

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

[tex]r_1-1, r_2-1, \cdots, r_n-1[/tex]

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

[tex]r_1+1, r_2+1, \cdots, r_n+1[/tex]

I will assume:

[tex]p_0=q_0=t_0=1[/tex]Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^n(p_i)=q_n[/tex]

and

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

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

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

Example:

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

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

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

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

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

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:

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

Sum of coefficients=-995328

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

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

2º) Coefficient of [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]\dfrac{P'(x)}{1}=9x^8-264x^7+1043x^6+26586x^5-228345x^4+36324x^3+4518357x^2-14076726x+12556936[/tex]

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

3º) Coefficient of [tex]x^2[/tex]:

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

Sum of coefficients=-2853504.

4º) Coefficient of [tex]x^3[/tex]:

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

Sum of coefficients=1177824.

5º) Coefficient of [tex]x^4[/tex]:

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

Sum of coefficients=-149768.

6º) Coefficient of [tex]x^5[/tex]:

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

Sum of coefficients=-17676.

7º) Coefficient of [tex]x^6[/tex]:

[tex]\dfrac{P''''''(x)}{6!}=84x^3-924x^2+1043x+4431[/tex].

Sum of coefficients=4634.

8º) Coefficient of [tex]x^7[/tex]:

[tex]\dfrac{P'''''''(x)}{7!}=36x^2-264x+149[/tex]

Sum of coefficients=-79.

9º) Coefficient of [tex]x^8[/tex]:

[tex]\dfrac{P''''''''(x)}{8!}=9x-33[/tex]

Sum of coefficients=-24.

10º) Coefficient of [tex]x^9[/tex]:

[tex]\dfrac{P'''''''''(x)}{9!}=1[/tex].

Therefore, the resulting polynomial is:
