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:

    It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.
