Additive Polynomial - Examples

Examples

The polynomial xp is additive. Indeed, for any a and b in the algebraic closure of k one has by the binomial theorem

Since p is prime, for all n = 1, ..., p−1 the binomial coefficient is divisible by p, which implies that

as polynomials in a and b.

Similarly all the polynomials of the form

are additive, where n is a non-negative integer.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:

    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.

    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
