As noted by the authors, for some values of $m, p, a_{p}$ and $a_{0}$, (1) is used in some problems of financial mathematics related to determine the interest rate of a uniform series of payment. For example, considering the number $n$ of periods, the payment PMT, the present value PV, the future value FV and the interest rate I, and putting $z = 1 + I$, one has the following equations (2)  \\begin{itemize} \\item[(a)] The uniform series capital recovery formula can be rewritten as $z^{n+1} - (a_0 + 1)z + a_0 = 0$, with $a_0 = PMT/PV$. Considering $PV > PMT$, we have $0 < a_0 < 1$.  \\item[(b)] For the uniform series sinking fund formula with the payment at the end of each period, we have $z^n - (a_0 + 1)z + a0 = 0$, with $a_0 = (FV-PMT)/PMT$ (here $a_0 > 0$).  \\item[(c)] The equation for the uniform series capital recovery formula can be rewritten as $z^n - (a0 + 1)z^{n-1} + a0 = 0$, with $a_0 = PMT/(PV - PMT)$; in this case, $a_0 > 0$.  \\item[(d)] For the uniform series sinking fund formula, we have $z^{n+1} - (a_0 + 1)z + a_0 = 0$, with $a_0 = FV/PMT$; observe that $a_0 > 1$.  \\end{itemize}  The paper under review deals with the study of the behavior of the roots of (1). It shows that $P_p(z)$ has $2$ positive zeros $z = 1$ and $z = \\zeta_p$, and at most $2$ negative zeroes. More precisely, if $m$ is even and $p$ is odd, then $P_p(z)$ does not possess negative zeroes; if $m$ is odd, then $P_p(z)$ one negative zero $z = \\omega_p$; when $m$ and $p$ are even, $P_p(z)$ has $2$ negative zeros $z = -1$ and $z = -\\zeta_p$.   The main results of the paper are stated as four theorems. The first one shows that the roots of (1) are simple except in the case of $a_p = - m/p$. The second one concerns the real roots of (1). It shows that: the zero $\\zeta_p$ of $P_p(z)$ is an increasing function of $a_0$; for $m$ odd, the negative zero $\\omega_p$, of $P_p(z)$ is a decreasing function of $a_0$; for $m$ and $p$ even, the negative zero $-\\zeta_p$ of $P_p(z)$ is a decreasing function of $a_0$. The third and the fourth main results concern the special case where $p = 1$ (related to equations (2) (b) and (d)) or $p = m - 1$ (related to (2) (a) and (c)). The third theorem provides information on the distribution of the zeros of $P_p(z)$. The fourth theorem shows that the polynomial $P_p(z)/(z - 1)$ is generated by a three term recurrence relation.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2416451$E86655D6-3CE2-499C-87DE-C864A0C27BE3","rank":"normal"}],"P1447":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1447","hash":"3ae26c396284ffac307162f7102c7003d7e21626","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":590112,"id":"Q590112"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2416451$B73EC1F3-AFB1-4993-947B-BFE126CECD1A","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"c9cf30409c08d8794814df406302eff616099c6f","datavalue":{"value":"12D10","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2416451$6A9F469C-CDEF-4558-BBC8-D19FF124F55D","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"8871fa000545a707dc0c8eb8145c5cf9a99c7e40","datavalue":{"value":"30C15","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2416451$41D324F6-EB83-4A01-B1E5-966B13C6876F","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"959b33c6867f1ff449ecd09233050f4cf24ad00a","datavalue":{"value":"7058233","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2416451$61B5A088-0A0D-4CB3-8361-3D00C14C08F5","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"3ad9fe8451e89b8926289829c79b98e5de8484c1","datavalue":{"value":"root","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2416451$8F0F75B5-3A7F-414B-BB2D-22E42C47E682","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"c04be3787b456a0ef5c298014fe5f5023a96a80a","datavalue":{"value":"trinomial
