Examples
- Consider the rational function:
We recognize in p(x) and q(x) respectively the Chebyshev polynomials of degree 3 and 5. Therefore r(x) has poles, and, i.e. for . We can see on the picture that and . For the pole in zero, we have since the left and right limits are equal (which is because p(x) also has a root in zero). We conclude that since q(x) has only five roots, all in . We cannot use here the Routh–Hurwitz theorem as each complex polynomial with f(iy) = q(y) + ip(y) has a zero on the imaginary line (namely at the origin).

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
