证明我们只考虑Ao>0和An>0的情况。其他案件也可以采取类似的处理方式。因为p(O)>0和p(X)-oc是x-oc,所以很明显,p的图形与正x轴相交偶数次,其中我们不考虑重数来计算交叉点。如果x=a是p的图形接触但不与正x轴交叉的点,则a的重数是偶数。如果该图
Proof We consider only the case when ao > 0 and an > 0. The other cases can be handled similarly. Because p(O) > 0 and p(x) -oc as x -oc, it is clear that the graph of p crosses the positive x-axis an even number of times, where we count crossings without regard to multiplicity. If x = a is a point at which the graph of p touches but does not cross the positive x-axis, then the multiplicity of a is even. If the graph
