A polynomial is said to have a triple root z=c if the equation contains the factor (zc)3.

For our equation, this means that the left-hand side can be factorized as

z46z2+az+b=(zc)3(zd)

according to the factor theorem, where z=c is the triple root and z=d is the equation's fourth root (according to the fundamental theorem of algebra, a fourth-order equation always has four roots, taking into account multiplicity).

We will now try to determine a, b, c and d so that both sides in the factorization above agree.

If we expand the right-hand side above, we get

(zc)3(zd)=(zc)2(zc)(zd)=(z22cz+c2)(zc)(zd)=(z33cz2+3c2zc3)(zd)=z4(3c+d)z3+3c(c+d)z2c2(c3d)z+c3d

and this means that we must have

z46z2+az+b=z4(3c+d)z3+3c(c+d)z2c2(c3d)z+c3d.

Because two polynomials are equal if an only if their coefficients are equal, this gives

3c+d3c(c+d)c2(c3d)c3d=0=6=a=b.

From the first equation, we obtain d=3c and substituting this into the second equation gives us an equation for c,

3c(c3c)6c2=6=6

i.e. c=1 or c=1. The relation d=3c gives that the corresponding values for d are d=3 and d=3. The two last equations give us the corresponding values for a and b,


c=1 d=3:abc=1 d=3:ab=12(13(3))=8=13(3)=3=(1)2(133)=10=(1)33=3.


Therefore, there are two different answers,

  • a=8 and b=3 give the triple root z=1 and the single root z=3,
  • a=10 and b=3 give the triple root z=1 and the single root z=3.
