Construct resultant for 3 polynomials

In summary, a resultant in polynomial equations is a single polynomial that represents the common solutions of two or more polynomial equations. It is calculated using the Sylvester's matrix method for 3 polynomials, and has various applications in mathematics and engineering. The resultant can be used for any number of polynomials, with a zero resultant indicating a common root among the polynomials.

For 2 polynomials f,g, resultant Res(f,g) vanish if and only if f and g has at least a common root.
However, is there any way to construct a coefficients polynomial of 3 polynomials f,g,h [Res(f,g,h)] that vanish if and only if f,g,h has at least a common root?

FAQ: Construct resultant for 3 polynomials

What is a resultant in polynomial equations?

A resultant in polynomial equations is a single polynomial that represents the common solutions of two or more polynomial equations. It is usually expressed as a function of the coefficients of the original polynomials.

How is the resultant calculated for 3 polynomials?

The resultant for 3 polynomials can be calculated using the Sylvester's matrix method. This involves creating a square matrix using the coefficients of the 3 polynomials, and then finding the determinant of the matrix. The resultant is then the coefficient of the highest degree term in the determinant.

What are the applications of construct resultant for 3 polynomials?

The construct resultant for 3 polynomials has various applications in mathematics and engineering. It is commonly used in solving systems of polynomial equations, finding common roots of polynomials, and in algebraic geometry.

Can the resultant be used for any number of polynomials?

Yes, the resultant can be calculated for any number of polynomials. However, the complexity of the calculation increases with the number of polynomials involved.

What does a zero resultant indicate?

If the resultant of three polynomials is equal to zero, it means that the polynomials have a common root. This can be used to solve systems of polynomial equations and find the values of the common root.
