[For the entire collection see Zbl 0755.00019.] Let \(S\) be a subring with unit of the field of reals and let \(p\) be a monic polynomial of degree \(n\) over \(S\) having exactly one positive root \(\lambda\). Assume that \(\lambda\) exceeds in absolute value all remaining roots of \(p\) and \(p(0)\neq 0\). It is shown that for all \(\beta\in S\) with \(0<\beta<\lambda\) the polyomial \((x+\beta)^ N p(x)\) has one sign change for sufficiently large \(N\). Moreover if \(M,N\) are sufficiently large then with suitable positive \(T_ 0,T_ 1,\dots,T_{N+n-1}\) the polynomial \(c(x)=x^{M+N+n}-\sum_{i=0}^{N+n-1} T_ i x^ i\) is divisible by \(p(x)\) in \(S[x]\), its companion matrix is primitive and has \(\lambda\) for its spectral radius.
