Moreover, +it develops anew and in greater detail various fundamental ideas of +calculus for the simple, but important, case of polynomials. The +theory of equations therefore affords a useful supplement to differential +calculus whether taken subsequently or simultaneously. + +It was to meet the numerous needs of the student in regard to his +earlier and future mathematical courses that the present book was +planned with great care and after wide consultation. It differs essentially +from the author's \textit{Elementary Theory of Equations}, both in regard to +omissions and additions, and since it is addressed to younger students +and may be used parallel with a course in differential calculus. Simpler +and more detailed proofs are now employed. The exercises are simpler, +more numerous, of greater variety, and involve more practical applications. + +This book throws important light on various elementary topics. +For example, an alert student of geometry who has learned how to bisect +any angle is apt to ask if every angle can be trisected with ruler and +compasses and if not, why not. After learning how to construct regular +polygons of $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$, $8$ and~$10$ sides, he will be inquisitive about the +missing ones of~$7$ and~$9$ sides. The teacher will be in a comfortable position +if he knows the facts and what is involved in the simplest discussion to +date of these questions, as given in \ChapRef{III}. Other chapters throw +needed light on various topics of algebra. In particular, the theory +of graphs is presented in \ChapRef{V} in a more scientific and practical +manner than was possible in algebra and analytic geometry. + +There is developed a method of computing a real root of an equation +with minimum labor and with certainty as to the accuracy of all the +decimals obtained. We first find by Horner's method successive transformed +%% -----File: 004.png---Folio xx------- +equations whose number is half of the desired number of significant +figures of the root. The final equation is reduced to a linear equation +by applying to the constant term the correction computed from the +omitted terms of the second and higher degrees, and the work is completed +by abridged division. The method combines speed with control of +accuracy. + +Newton's method, which is presented from both the graphical and +the numerical standpoints, has the advantage of being applicable also to +equations which are not algebraic; it is applied in detail to various such +equations. + +In order to locate or isolate the real roots of an equation we may +employ a graph, provided it be constructed scientifically, or the theorems +of Descartes, Sturm, and Budan, which are usually neither stated, nor +proved, correctly. + +The long chapter on determinants is independent of the earlier chapters. +The theory of a general system of linear equations is here presented +also from the standpoint of matrices. + +For valuable suggestions made after reading the preliminary manuscript +of this book, the author is greatly indebted to Professor Bussey +of the University of Minnesota, Professor Roever of Washington University, +Professor Kempner of the University of Illinois, and Professor +Young of the University of Chicago.

Consequently we denote +the roots of $x^2 = -1$ by~$i$ and~$-i$. The roots of $x^2 = -4$ are written in the +form $± 2i$ in preference to $±\sqrt{-4}$. In general, if $p$ is positive, the roots +of $x^2=-p$ are written in the form $±\sqrt{p} i$ in preference to $±\sqrt{-p}$. + +\begin{Remark} +The square of either root is thus $(\sqrt{p})^2 i^2 = -p$. Had we used the less desirable +notation $±\sqrt{-p}$ for the roots of $x^2 = -p$, we might be tempted to find the square of +either root by multiplying together the values under the radical sign and conclude +erroneously that +\[ +\sqrt{-p}\,\sqrt{-p} = \sqrt{p^2} = +p. +\] +To prevent such errors we use $\sqrt{p}\,i$ and not~$\sqrt{-p}$. +\end{Remark} + + +% [** PP: ToC entry reads Addition, multiplication and division of complex numbers] +\Section{2.}{Complex Numbers} If $a$ and~$b$ are any two real numbers and +\index{Complex number}% +$i^2 = -1$, $a+bi$ is called a \emph{complex number}\footnote + {Complex numbers are essentially couples of real numbers.

In Exs.~1--5 of the +preceding set, it was true that, conversely, any real root of $f'(x)=0$ is +the abscissa of a bend point. However, this is not always the case. +We shall now consider in detail an example illustrating this fact. The +example is the one merely mentioned in~§55 to indicate the need of the +second requirement made in our definition of a bend point. + +The graph (Fig.~15) of $y = x^3$ has no bend point since $x^3$ increases when +$x$~increases. Nevertheless, the derivative $3x^2$ of~$x^3$ is zero for the real +value $x = 0$. The tangent to the curve at $(0, 0)$ is the horizontal line +$y=0$. It may be thought of as the limiting position of a secant through~$O$ +which meets the curve in two further points, seen to be equidistant +from~$O$. When one, and hence also the other, of the latter points approaches~$O$, +the secant approaches the position of tangency. In this sense the +tangent at~$O$ is said to meet the curve in three coincident points, their +abscissas being the three coinciding roots of $x^3 = 0$. In the language of~§17, +$x^3 = 0$ has the triple root $x = 0$.

Evidently $v$ is the number of variations of sign of~$f(x)$. + +\begin{Remark} +For example, if $f(x) \equiv 2x^6 + 3x^5 - 4x^4 - 6x^3 + 7x$, we have $v=2$, $a_{k_1} = a_2 = -4$, $a_{k_2} = a_5 = 7$. +Note that $a_4 = 0$ since $x^2$ is absent. +\end{Remark} + +The numbers $A_0, A_{k_1}, \dotsc, A_{k_v}, A_{l+1}$ are all different from zero and +have the same signs as $a_0, a_{k_1}, \dotsc, a_{k_v}, -a_l$, respectively. This is +obviously true for $A_0 = a_0$ and $A_{l+1}= -ra_l$. Next, $A_{k_i}$ is the sum of the +non-vanishing number $a_{k_i}$ and the number $-ra_{k_i - 1}$, which is either zero +or else of the same sign as $a_{k_i}$ since $a_{k_i - 1}$ is either zero or of opposite sign +to~$a_{k_i}$. Hence the sum~$A_{k_i}$ is not zero and has the same sign as~$a_{k_i}$. + +By hypothesis, each of the numbers $a_0, a_{k_1}, \dotsc, a_{k_v}$ after the first +is of opposite sign to its predecessor, while $-a_l$ is of opposite sign to~$a_{k_v}$. +Hence each term after the first in the sequence $A_0, A_{k_1}, \dotsc, A_{k_v}, A_{l+1}$ +is of opposite sign to its predecessor. Thus these terms present $v+1$ +variations of sign. We conclude that $F(x)$ has at least one more variation +of sign than $f(x)$.

Since each such odd integer may be expressed as $1$ +plus~$0$ or a positive even integer, the sum mentioned is equal to $v+1$ plus~$0$ +or a positive even integer, i.e., to $v$ plus a positive odd integer. + +To prove Descartes' rule of signs, consider first the case in which $f(x)= 0$ +has no positive real roots, i.e., no real root between $0$ and~$+\infty$. Then +$f(0)$ and $f(\infty$) are of the same sign~(§63), and hence the first and last +coefficients of $f(x)$ are of the same sign.\footnote + {In case $f(x)$ has a factor $x^{n-l}$, we use the polynomial $f(x)/x^{n-l}$ instead of $f(x)$ in + this argument.} +Thus $f(x)$ has either no variations +of sign or an even number of them, as Descartes' rule requires. + +Next, let $f(x)= 0$ have the positive real roots $r_1,\dotsc, r_k$ and no others. +A root of multiplicity~$m$ occurs here $m$~times, so that the $r$'s need not be +distinct. Then +\[ +f(x) \equiv (x - r_1)\dotsm (x - r_k)\phi(x), +\] +where $\phi(x)$ is a polynomial with real coefficients such that $\phi(x)=0$ has +no positive real roots.

Hence $S_1 = S - \sigma$ is a homogeneous symmetric polynomial of the +same total degree~$k$ as~$S$ and having a highest term~$h_1$ not as high as~$h$. +As before, we form a product~$\sigma_1$ of the $E$'s whose highest term is this~$h_1$. +Then $S_2 = S_1 - \sigma_1$ is a homogeneous symmetric polynomial of total degree~$k$ +and with a highest term $h_2$ not as high as~$h_1$.

"Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be +used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who +agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few +things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works +even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See +paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement +and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works.

Of course, we hope that you will support the Project +Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by +freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of +this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with +the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by +keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project +Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others. + +1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern +what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in +a constant state of change.

Contact the +Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below. + +1.F. + +1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the +trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone +providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance +with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, +promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, +harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, +that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do +or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm +work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any +Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. + + +Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at http://pglaf.org + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. +\end{PGtext} + +% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % +% % +% End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of First Course in the Theory of Equations, by +% Leonard Eugene Dickson % +% % +% *** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THEORY OF EQUATIONS *** % +% % +% ***** This file should be named 29785-t.tex or 29785-t.zip ***** % +% This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: % +% http://www.gutenberg.org/2/9/7/8/29785/ % +% % +% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % + +\end{document} + +### +@ControlwordReplace = ( +# ['\\Appendix', 'Appendix.

Moreover, +it develops anew and in greater detail various fundamental ideas of +calculus for the simple, but important, case of polynomials. The +theory of equations therefore affords a useful supplement to differential +calculus whether taken subsequently or simultaneously. + +It was to meet the numerous needs of the student in regard to his +earlier and future mathematical courses that the present book was +planned with great care and after wide consultation. It differs essentially +from the author's \textit{Elementary Theory of Equations}, both in regard to +omissions and additions, and since it is addressed to younger students +and may be used parallel with a course in differential calculus. Simpler +and more detailed proofs are now employed. The exercises are simpler, +more numerous, of greater variety, and involve more practical applications. + +This book throws important light on various elementary topics. +For example, an alert student of geometry who has learned how to bisect +any angle is apt to ask if every angle can be trisected with ruler and +compasses and if not, why not. After learning how to construct regular +polygons of $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$, $8$ and~$10$ sides, he will be inquisitive about the +missing ones of~$7$ and~$9$ sides. The teacher will be in a comfortable position +if he knows the facts and what is involved in the simplest discussion to +date of these questions, as given in \ChapRef{III}. Other chapters throw +needed light on various topics of algebra. In particular, the theory +of graphs is presented in \ChapRef{V} in a more scientific and practical +manner than was possible in algebra and analytic geometry. + +There is developed a method of computing a real root of an equation +with minimum labor and with certainty as to the accuracy of all the +decimals obtained. We first find by Horner's method successive transformed +%% -----File: 004.png---Folio xx------- +equations whose number is half of the desired number of significant +figures of the root. The final equation is reduced to a linear equation +by applying to the constant term the correction computed from the +omitted terms of the second and higher degrees, and the work is completed +by abridged division. The method combines speed with control of +accuracy. + +Newton's method, which is presented from both the graphical and +the numerical standpoints, has the advantage of being applicable also to +equations which are not algebraic; it is applied in detail to various such +equations. + +In order to locate or isolate the real roots of an equation we may +employ a graph, provided it be constructed scientifically, or the theorems +of Descartes, Sturm, and Budan, which are usually neither stated, nor +proved, correctly. + +The long chapter on determinants is independent of the earlier chapters. +The theory of a general system of linear equations is here presented +also from the standpoint of matrices. + +For valuable suggestions made after reading the preliminary manuscript +of this book, the author is greatly indebted to Professor Bussey +of the University of Minnesota, Professor Roever of Washington University, +Professor Kempner of the University of Illinois, and Professor +Young of the University of Chicago. The revised manuscript was much +improved after it was read critically by Professor Curtiss of Northwestern +University. The author's thanks are due also to Professor Dresden of +the University of Wisconsin for various useful suggestions on the +proof-sheets. + +{\small\textsc{Chicago, 1921.}} + +%% -----File: 005.png---Folio xx------- + +\PrintContents + +\iffalse%%%% COMMENTED HARD-CODED TABLE OF CONTENTS %%%% +\begin{center} +\section*{CONTENTS} + +{\tiny Numbers refer to pages.} + +\rule{3em}{0.75pt} + +\subsection*{CHAPTER I} + +\textsc{Complex Numbers} +\end{center} + +Square roots, 1.

It is most easily computed +by logarithms. +\index{Square roots}% + +We shall express the square roots of negative numbers in terms of the +symbol~$i$ such that the relation $i^2 = -1$ holds. Consequently we denote +the roots of $x^2 = -1$ by~$i$ and~$-i$. The roots of $x^2 = -4$ are written in the +form $± 2i$ in preference to $±\sqrt{-4}$. In general, if $p$ is positive, the roots +of $x^2=-p$ are written in the form $±\sqrt{p} i$ in preference to $±\sqrt{-p}$. + +\begin{Remark} +The square of either root is thus $(\sqrt{p})^2 i^2 = -p$. Had we used the less desirable +notation $±\sqrt{-p}$ for the roots of $x^2 = -p$, we might be tempted to find the square of +either root by multiplying together the values under the radical sign and conclude +erroneously that +\[ +\sqrt{-p}\,\sqrt{-p} = \sqrt{p^2} = +p. +\] +To prevent such errors we use $\sqrt{p}\,i$ and not~$\sqrt{-p}$. +\end{Remark} + + +% [** PP: ToC entry reads Addition, multiplication and division of complex numbers] +\Section{2.}{Complex Numbers} If $a$ and~$b$ are any two real numbers and +\index{Complex number}% +$i^2 = -1$, $a+bi$ is called a \emph{complex number}\footnote + {Complex numbers are essentially couples of real numbers.

We +shall later show that each of the problems, to trisect an angle, and to construct +regular polygons of $7$ and~$9$ sides with ruler and compasses, leads +to a cubic equation. We shall be in a position to treat all of these problems +as soon as we have proved the following general result. + +\begin{Theorem} +It is not possible to construct with ruler and compasses a +line whose length is a root or the negative of a root of a cubic equation with +rational coefficients having no rational root. +\end{Theorem} + +Suppose that $x_1$ is a root of +\[ +x^3 + \alpha x^2 + \beta x + \gamma = 0 \qquad +\text{($\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$ rational)} +\Tag{5} +\] +such that a line of length $x_1$ or~$-x_1$ can be constructed with ruler and compasses; +we shall prove that one of the roots of~\Eq{5} is rational. We have +only to discuss the case in which $x_1$ is irrational. + +By the criterion in~§30, since the given numbers in this problem are +$\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$, all rational, $x_1$ can be obtained by a finite number of rational +operations and extractions of real square roots, performed upon rational +numbers or numbers derived from them by such operations. Thus $x_1$ +involves one or more real square roots, but no further irrationalities. + +As in the case of~\Eq{4}, there may be superimposed radicals. Such a +two-story radical which is not expressible as a rational function, with +rational coefficients, of a finite number of square roots of positive rational +numbers is said to be a radical of \emph{order}~2. In general, an $n$-story radical +is said to be of order~$n$ if it is not expressible as a rational function, with +\index{Order of radical}% +rational coefficients, of radicals each with fewer than $n$~superimposed +radicals, the innermost ones affecting positive rational numbers. + +%% -----File: 039.png---Folio 33------- + +We agree to simplify $x_1$ by making all possible replacements of certain +types that are sufficiently illustrated by the following numerical examples. + +If $x_1$ involves $\sqrt{3}$, $\sqrt{5}$, and~$\sqrt{15}$, we agree to replace $\sqrt{15}$ by~$\sqrt{3}·\sqrt{5}$. +If $x_1 = s - 7t$, where $s$ is given by~\Eq{4} and +\[ +t = \tfrac{1}{2} \sqrt{10 + 2\sqrt{5}}, +\] +so that $st = \sqrt{5}$, we agree to write $x_1$ in the form $s - 7\sqrt{5}/s$, which involves +a single radical of order~$2$ and no new radical of lower order. Finally, +we agree to replace $\sqrt{4 - 2\sqrt{3}}$ by its simpler form $\sqrt{3}-1$. + +After all possible simplifications of these types have been made, the +resulting expressions have the following properties (to be cited as our +agreements): no one of the radicals of highest order~$n$ in~$x_1$ is equal to +a rational function, with rational coefficients, of the remaining radicals +of order~$n$ and the radicals of lower orders, while no one of the radicals +of order $n-1$ is equal to a rational function of the remaining radicals of +order $n-1$ and the radicals of lower orders, etc. + +Let $\sqrt{k}$ be a radical of highest order~$n$ in~$x_1$.

If +$d = 0$, then $c \neq 0$ and we write $e$ for $a/c$, $f$ for $b/c$, and get +\begin{flalign*} +&& x_1 &= e + f\sqrt{k}, && \Rightmark{(f \neq 0)} +\Tag{6} +\end{flalign*} +where neither $e$ nor~$f$ involves~$\sqrt{k}$. If $d \neq 0$, we derive~\Eq{6} by multiplying +the numerator and denominator of the fraction for~$x_1$ by $c - d\sqrt{k}$, which +is not zero since $\sqrt{k} = c/d$ would contradict our above agreements. + +By hypothesis, \Eq{6} is a root of equation~\Eq{5}. After expanding the +powers and replacing the square of $\sqrt{k}$ by~$k$, we see that +\[ +(e + f \sqrt{k})^3 + + \alpha(e + f \sqrt{k})^2 + + \beta(e + f \sqrt{k}) + + \gamma = A + B\sqrt{k}, +\Tag{7} +\] +where $A$ and~$B$ are certain polynomials in $e$, $f$,~$k$ and the rational numbers +$\alpha$, $\beta$,~$\gamma$. Thus $A + B \sqrt{k} = 0$. If $B \neq 0$, $\sqrt{k} = -A/B$ is a rational function, +with rational coefficients, of the radicals, other than~$\sqrt{k}$, in~$x_1$, contrary +to our agreements. Hence $B = 0$ and therefore $A = 0$. + +When $e - f \sqrt{k}$ is substituted for~$x$ in the cubic function~\Eq{5}, the result +%% -----File: 040.png---Folio 34------- +is the left member of~\Eq{7} with $\sqrt{k}$ replaced by~$-\sqrt{k}$, and hence the result +is $A - B\sqrt{k}$. But $A = B = 0$. This shows that +\[ +x_2 = e - f \sqrt{k} +\Tag{8} +\] +is a new root of our cubic equation. Since the sum of the three roots +is equal to~$-\alpha$ by~§20, the third root is +\[ +x_3 = -\alpha - x_1 - x_2 = -\alpha - 2e. +\Tag{9} +\] + +Now $\alpha$ is rational. If also $e$ is rational, $x_3$ is a rational root and we have +reached our goal. We next make the assumption that $e$ is irrational +and show that it leads to a contradiction. Since $e$ is a component part +of the constructible root~\Eq{6}, its only irrationalities are square roots. +Let $\sqrt{s}$ be one of the radicals of highest order in~$e$.

Then by the argument which led +to~\Eq{8}, $g - h \sqrt{s}$ is a root, different from~$x_3$, of our cubic equation, and hence +is equal to $x_1$ or~$x_2$ since there are only three roots~(§16). Thus +\[ +g - h \sqrt{s} = e ± f \sqrt{k}. +\] + +By definition, $\sqrt{s}$ is one of the radicals occurring in $e$. Also, by~\Eq{9'}, +every radical occurring in $g$ or~$h$ occurs in $x_3$ and hence in $e = \frac{1}{2}(-\alpha - x_3)$, +by~(9), $\alpha$ being rational. Hence $\sqrt{k}$ is expressible rationally in terms +of the remaining radicals occurring in $e$ and~$f$, and hence in~$x_1$, whose value +is given by~\Eq{6}. But this contradicts one of our agreements. + + +\Section{32.}{Trisection of an Angle} For a given angle~$A$, we can construct +\index{Trisection of angle}% +with ruler and compasses a line of length $\cos A$ or $-\cos A$, namely the +adjacent leg of a right triangle, with hypotenuse unity, formed by dropping +a perpendicular from a point in one side of $A$ to the other, produced if +necessary.

In Exs.~1--5 of the +preceding set, it was true that, conversely, any real root of $f'(x)=0$ is +the abscissa of a bend point. However, this is not always the case. +We shall now consider in detail an example illustrating this fact. The +example is the one merely mentioned in~§55 to indicate the need of the +second requirement made in our definition of a bend point. + +The graph (Fig.~15) of $y = x^3$ has no bend point since $x^3$ increases when +$x$~increases. Nevertheless, the derivative $3x^2$ of~$x^3$ is zero for the real +value $x = 0$. The tangent to the curve at $(0, 0)$ is the horizontal line +$y=0$. It may be thought of as the limiting position of a secant through~$O$ +which meets the curve in two further points, seen to be equidistant +from~$O$. When one, and hence also the other, of the latter points approaches~$O$, +the secant approaches the position of tangency. In this sense the +tangent at~$O$ is said to meet the curve in three coincident points, their +abscissas being the three coinciding roots of $x^3 = 0$. In the language of~§17, +$x^3 = 0$ has the triple root $x = 0$.

Evidently $v$ is the number of variations of sign of~$f(x)$. + +\begin{Remark} +For example, if $f(x) \equiv 2x^6 + 3x^5 - 4x^4 - 6x^3 + 7x$, we have $v=2$, $a_{k_1} = a_2 = -4$, $a_{k_2} = a_5 = 7$. +Note that $a_4 = 0$ since $x^2$ is absent. +\end{Remark} + +The numbers $A_0, A_{k_1}, \dotsc, A_{k_v}, A_{l+1}$ are all different from zero and +have the same signs as $a_0, a_{k_1}, \dotsc, a_{k_v}, -a_l$, respectively. This is +obviously true for $A_0 = a_0$ and $A_{l+1}= -ra_l$. Next, $A_{k_i}$ is the sum of the +non-vanishing number $a_{k_i}$ and the number $-ra_{k_i - 1}$, which is either zero +or else of the same sign as $a_{k_i}$ since $a_{k_i - 1}$ is either zero or of opposite sign +to~$a_{k_i}$. Hence the sum~$A_{k_i}$ is not zero and has the same sign as~$a_{k_i}$. + +By hypothesis, each of the numbers $a_0, a_{k_1}, \dotsc, a_{k_v}$ after the first +is of opposite sign to its predecessor, while $-a_l$ is of opposite sign to~$a_{k_v}$. +Hence each term after the first in the sequence $A_0, A_{k_1}, \dotsc, A_{k_v}, A_{l+1}$ +is of opposite sign to its predecessor. Thus these terms present $v+1$ +variations of sign. We conclude that $F(x)$ has at least one more variation +of sign than $f(x)$. But we may go further and prove the following + +%% -----File: 079.png---Folio 73------- + +\begin{Lemma} +The number of variations of sign of~$F(x)$ is equal to that of +$f(x)$ increased by some positive odd integer. +\end{Lemma} + +For, the sequence $A_0, A_1, \dotsc, A_{k_1}$ has an odd number of variations +of sign since its first and last terms are of opposite sign; and similarly +for the $v$~sequences +\[ +\begin{array}{c@{\quad}c@{\,}c@{\,}c} +A_{k_1}, & A_{k_1 + 1}, & \dotsc, & A_{k_2}; \\ +\Dots{4} \\ +A_{k_v}, & A_{k_v + 1}, & \dotsc, & A_{l+1}. +\end{array} +\] +The total number of variations of sign of the entire sequence $A_0, A_1,\dotsc, +A_{l+1}$ is evidently the sum of the numbers of variations of sign for the +$v+1$ partial sequences indicated above, and is thus the sum of $v+1$ positive +odd integers. Since each such odd integer may be expressed as $1$ +plus~$0$ or a positive even integer, the sum mentioned is equal to $v+1$ plus~$0$ +or a positive even integer, i.e., to $v$ plus a positive odd integer. + +To prove Descartes' rule of signs, consider first the case in which $f(x)= 0$ +has no positive real roots, i.e., no real root between $0$ and~$+\infty$. Then +$f(0)$ and $f(\infty$) are of the same sign~(§63), and hence the first and last +coefficients of $f(x)$ are of the same sign.\footnote + {In case $f(x)$ has a factor $x^{n-l}$, we use the polynomial $f(x)/x^{n-l}$ instead of $f(x)$ in + this argument.} +Thus $f(x)$ has either no variations +of sign or an even number of them, as Descartes' rule requires. + +Next, let $f(x)= 0$ have the positive real roots $r_1,\dotsc, r_k$ and no others. +A root of multiplicity~$m$ occurs here $m$~times, so that the $r$'s need not be +distinct. Then +\[ +f(x) \equiv (x - r_1)\dotsm (x - r_k)\phi(x), +\] +where $\phi(x)$ is a polynomial with real coefficients such that $\phi(x)=0$ has +no positive real roots. We saw in the preceding paragraph that $\phi(x)$ +has either no variations of sign or an even number of them. By the +Lemma, the product $(x - r_k)\phi(x)$ has as the number of its variations of +sign the number for $\phi(x)$ increased by a positive odd integer.

Hence $f_{i-1}(x)$ does not have +this factor $x-\rho$. Thus, by~\Eq{3}, +\[ +f_{i-1}(\rho) = -f_{i+1}(\rho) \ne 0. +\] +Hence, if $p$ is a sufficiently small positive number, the values of +\[ +f_{i-1}(x),\quad f_i(x),\quad f_{i+1}(x) +\] +for $x = \rho - p$ show just one variation of sign, since the first and third +values are of opposite sign, and for $x = \rho + p$ show just one variation of +sign, and therefore show no change in the number of variations of sign +for the two values of~$x$. + +It follows from the first and second cases that $V_\alpha = V_\beta$ if $\alpha$ and~$\beta$ are +real numbers for neither of which any one of the functions~\Eq{2} vanishes +and such that no root of $f(x) = 0$ lies between $\alpha$ and~$\beta$. + +Third, let $r$ be a root of $f(x) = 0$.

If $f'(r)$ is negative, these signs are ${}+{}-{}$ and~${}-{}-{}$ +respectively. In each case, $f(x)$, $f_1(x)$ show one more variation of sign +for $x = r-p$ than for $x = r+p$. Evidently $p$ may be chosen so small that +no one of the functions $f_1(x), \dotsc, f_n$ vanishes for either $x=r-p$ or $x=r+p$, +and such that $f_1(x)$ does not vanish for a value of~$x$ between $r-p$ and~$r+p$, +so that $f(x) = 0$ has the single real root~$r$ between these limits~(§65). +Hence by the first and second cases, $f_1, \dotsc, f_n$ show the same number +of variations of sign for $x = r-p$ as for $x = r+p$.

Hence $S_1 = S - \sigma$ is a homogeneous symmetric polynomial of the +same total degree~$k$ as~$S$ and having a highest term~$h_1$ not as high as~$h$. +As before, we form a product~$\sigma_1$ of the $E$'s whose highest term is this~$h_1$. +Then $S_2 = S_1 - \sigma_1$ is a homogeneous symmetric polynomial of total degree~$k$ +and with a highest term $h_2$ not as high as~$h_1$.

"Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be +used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who +agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few +things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works +even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See +paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement +and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works.

Of course, we hope that you will support the Project +Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by +freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of +this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with +the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by +keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project +Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others. + +1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern +what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in +a constant state of change.

Contact the +Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below. + +1.F. + +1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the +trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone +providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance +with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, +promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, +harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, +that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do +or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm +work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any +Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. + + +Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at http://pglaf.org + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. +\end{PGtext} + +% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % +% % +% End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of First Course in the Theory of Equations, by +% Leonard Eugene Dickson % +% % +% *** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THEORY OF EQUATIONS *** % +% % +% ***** This file should be named 29785-t.tex or 29785-t.zip ***** % +% This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: % +% http://www.gutenberg.org/2/9/7/8/29785/ % +% % +% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % + +\end{document} + +### +@ControlwordReplace = ( +# ['\\Appendix', 'Appendix.
