In the senior secondary years, when students extend their study to polynomial functions, they come across the
rational root theorem (see www.wikipedia.org).
If P is of odd degree, it has a
rational root [alpha].
He also proved that the dynatomic curve [[PHI].sub.4,[sigma]](x) = 0 with [sigma](x) = [x.sup.2] + a has no rational points, i.e., [[PHI].sub.4,[sigma]](x) has no
rational roots for rational values of a [7].
Yet, her struggle continued, for she was constantly targeted for reasons which had no
rational roots and judgment.
If we collocate (24) at the (N) Legendre
rational roots of [R.sub.N + 1](t), then we get
He accepted only positive
rational roots and ignored all others.
Current research in decision-making has taken a departure from its purely
rational roots (Dawes, 1988; Kahneman, Slovic & Tversky, 1982).
Although a lot of people want to pretend that conflict has purely
rational roots, the emotional energy tapped by conflict can only be explained by multiple origins.
