We close the gap by showing that this problem can be solved in polynomial time for cubic polynomials. Furthermore, we show that the problem of minimizing a homogeneous polynomial of any fixed degree ...

It is inspired by Cardano’s solution of the cubic equation and Newton’s theorem on power sums, and yields an interpretation of generalized Lucas polynomials in terms of the theory of symmetric ...

The nature and co-ordinates of roots can be determined using the discriminant and solving polynomials as part of Bitesize Higher Maths ...
