Bezout's Theorem

Hello~ Nice to meet everyone Smile

I wonder what Bezout's Theorem is.

If someone know about it, Please post it..

Okay. Bezout theorem's is a simple but very used Theorem. It states that for a polynomial f(x) we have that f(x) = (x-a)g(x) where g(x) is another polynomial if and only if f(a)=0.

Euhm, in Belgium we call the following theorem 'Bezout's theorem':

If a, b are integers then there exist integers m, n such that am + bn = gcd(a, b).

This is the first time I have heard of 'Bezout's Theorem' and yet the two theorems are already known to me. First one is the factor theorem and the other one is the theorem of Euclid's Algorithm of finding gcd's.

Actually it is Claude Gaspard Bachet de Mziriac who discovered this theorem and not Etienne Bzout. But it's not that important of course Mr. Green

I found what I wanted

^^ I found what I wanted

In projective field, generally, the number of intersections of two same-

powered polynomials is equal to the square power of them.

This theorem can be used in any field...

(Sorry for my broken English..)

I never knew its called Bezauts Theorem,
We use it extensively to factorise polynomials of the order 3 and above and also to find the other factors, we call it the factor theorem

what is bezouts theorem and how could it be used to factor polynomials?

Bezout's theorem goes by many names. It's also known as factor/ remainder thorem for polynoms.

I think that bezout's theorem exist also in arithmetic Question Confused

isn't bezouts theorem kinda like the division of polynomials thing?

where you have f(x) = q(x)g(x) + r(x)

in this case you are dividing f(x) by some q(x) = x-a

since it states that the theorem holds for when f(a) = 0, that just means that f(x) is divisible without remainders by x-a, meaning r(x) =0

so we just get f(x) = (x-a)g(x)

yea i ono that may have seemed obvious but that's just what i was thinking about in my head

We should distinguish the Bezout theorem about Polinimial to the Bezout theo rem for Number Theory. Two theorems have many useful to solve and understand many problems.

Isn't that the Factor Theorem?! Shocked

From the above posts, I know that there are two versions of Bezout's Theorem: one in algebra and one in number theory. For the algebra one, I feel shocked because it is just the same as Factor Theorem.

The following "Bezout's theorem" appears in algebraic geometry:

In complex projective space, a variety of degree n intersects a variety of degree m in exactly mn points, when the varieties are in general position. More fundamentally, the zero set of polynomial of degreem m intersects the zero set of a polynomial of degree n in exactly mn points.

And "points" isn't exactly right, either. We count them with multiplicity, and the precise definition of multiplicity is algebraic.

yes, I wrote "general position" when I meant "generic," trying to get rid of those nasty multiplicities Wink.
