一次和给b,平方和给二次对称和c。倒数和等于三根乘积之和除四根积,注意韦达定理中d前面的负号。

Vieta’s formula gives
b=−(α+β+γ+δ)=−3.
The pairwise product sum is c, so
5=(α+β+γ+δ)2−2c=9−2c,
giving c=2.
Also αβγδ=−2=0, so all reciprocal roots are defined. The sum of the four triple products is −d. Hence
6==αβγδαβγ+αβδ+αγδ+βγδ−2−d.
Thus d=12.

把四根分别代入已求出的四次式并相加,常数−2要累计四次。

The quartic is x4−3x3+2x2+12x−2=0. Summing this equation over its roots gives
S4−3S3+2S2+12S1−8=0,
where Sj=αj+βj+γj+δj. Therefore
S4===3(−27)−2(5)−12(3)+8−81−10−36+8−119.
