RootSum
RootSum
represents the sum of
for all
x
that satisfy the polynomial equation
.
MORE INFORMATION
f

Function
object such as
.
form
need not correspond to a polynomial function.
Normal
[
expr
]
expands
RootSum
objects into explicit sums involving
Root
objects.
f
and
form
can contain symbolic parameters.
RootSum
is automatically simplified whenever
form
is a rational function.
RootSum
is often generated in computing integrals of rational functions.
