Some remarks on the non-real roots of polynomials

Abstract: Let

f i n m a t h b b R (t) [x]

be given by

f (t, x) = x^{n} + t c d o t g (x)

and

the distinct real roots of the discriminant

D e l t a_{(f, x)} (t)

of

f (t, x)

with respect to

x

. Let

g a m m a

be the number of real roots of

g (x) = s u m_{k = 0}^{s} t_{s - k} x^{s - k}

. For any

, if

n - s

is odd then the number of real roots of

f (x i, x)

is

g a m m a + 1

, and if

n - s

is even then the number of real roots of

f (x i, x)

is

g a m m a

,

g a m m a + 2

if

t_{s} > 0

or

t_{s} < 0

respectively. A special case of the above result is constructing a family of totally complex polynomials which are reducible over

m a t h b b Q

.
