I'll have a crack... even though i don't know polynomial transformation.monstylez said:For polynomial transformation, how would i go around doing x = a+(1/a) ?
Thanks in advance.
hrm so a = x +- sqrt (x²-4)/2shaon0 said:I'll have a crack... even though i don't know polynomial transformation.
x=(a^2+1)/a
ax=a^2+1
a^2-ax+1=0
oh using quadratic formula.tommykins said:hrm so a = x +- sqrt (x²-4)/2
Seems farfetched, but will try.
Given a polynomial as ax^3 + bx^2+ cx + d has roots x,y,z (cbf alpha etc.)conics2008 said:wtf poly transofrmation ???
No, it works for all polynomials.conics2008 said:hey with those i think it only works with quadratic questions.
i remember doing something like that.. thats like finding the NEW poly with the given roots....
yeah those only work with quadratic how you have to manaully put them in eg
x^2 + (a+b)x+ab where ab are the roots...
I know what you mean..tommykins said:No, it works for all polynomials.
They don't give you the roots, only give you them as alpha, beta, gamma etc.
Yes but cubics aren't too hard, they normally use cubics so that you get an x.sqrtx anyways.conics2008 said:I know what you mean..
eg find the new poly with roots a^2-1
you just equate x=a^2-1 and make a the subject.. but in that case.. its hard to do..
doing it with quadratic is a pain.. i dont think you would be expected to do with a cubic or quad poly...
eg ax^2+bx+c=0 find the new poly with roots a+1/a, b +1/b
you can use the sum of roots and product of roots... but doing it with a cubic is a pain..
are you understanding what im sayin??
