多项式求根计算器

Exactly as many as its degree, counted with multiplicity, once complex roots are included; this is the fundamental theorem of algebra. x⁴ − 1 has four roots: −1, 1, i and −i. The number of real roots can be smaller: x³ − 2 has one real root, ∛2 ≈ 1.259921, and two complex ones. A root of multiplicity 3, such as x = 1 in (x − 1)³(x + 2), counts three times.

Look for a rational root first. By the rational root theorem, any rational root p/q of a polynomial with integer coefficients has p dividing the constant term and q dividing the leading coefficient. For x³ − 6x² + 11x − 6, trying divisors of 6 finds x = 1, and dividing by (x − 1) leaves x² − 5x + 6 = (x − 2)(x − 3). Without a rational root, Cardano's formula or a numerical method is needed.

No general formula using radicals exists for degree 5 or higher. The Abel–Ruffini theorem, proved by Abel in 1824, shows this, and Galois theory explains which equations can be solved that way. x⁵ − x − 1 is a standard example whose roots cannot be written with radicals. Numerical methods still find them: its only real root is about 1.167304.

They link the roots to the coefficients. For aₙxⁿ + aₙ₋₁xⁿ⁻¹ + … + a₀, the roots add up to −aₙ₋₁/aₙ and multiply to (−1)ⁿa₀/aₙ. For x³ − 6x² + 11x − 6 the roots 1, 2 and 3 sum to 6 and multiply to 6, matching −(−6)/1 and (−1)³ × (−6)/1. The calculator uses both as a check on the roots it finds.

When every coefficient is real, conjugating the equation p(z) = 0 gives p(z̄) = 0, so the conjugate of a root is also a root. x³ − 2 therefore has the pair −0.629961 ± 1.091124i alongside its real root. It follows that a polynomial of odd degree with real coefficients always has at least one real root.

准确性取决于输入值和方法的假设。十进制运算使用50位有效数字，但估算、数值方法和源数据的精度可能较低；显示时的舍入并不能消除这些限制。 已按独立来源核验的计算示例：7。 例如，“x³ − 6x² + 11x − 6”根据(x − 1)(x − 2)(x − 3) expanded by hand进行核验。
