Hudde’s Two Rules • Rule 1: If the polynomial an xn + an-1 xn-1 +…+ a1 x + a0 has a local max or local min @ x=x0, then x=x0 is a root of the equation nanxn + (n-1)an-1 xn-1 +…+ 2a2x2 + a1 x=0.
Hudde’s Two Rules • Rule 2: If the polynomial equation an xn + an-1 xn-1 +…+ a1 x + a0 =0 has a double root @ x=x0, and if b0 , b1 ,…, bn are numbers in arithmetic progression, then x=x0 is a root of the poly equation an b0 x n + an-1 b1 xn-1 +…+ a1bn-1 x + a0 bn=0.
