Abstract

In any cubic polynomial, the average of the slopes at the 33 roots is the negation of the slope at the average of the roots. In any quartic, the average of the slopes at the 44 roots is twice the negation of the slope at the average of the roots. We generalize such situations and present a procedure for determining all such relationships for polynomials of any degree. E.g., in any septic ff, letting fn\overline{f}_n denote the mean ff value over all zeroes of the derivative f(n)f^{\left(n\right)}, it holds that 3737 f1150\overline{f}_1-150 f3+200f4135f5+48\overline{f}_3+200\,\overline{f}_4-135\,\overline{f}_5+48\,% \overline{f}_6=0; and in any quartic it holds that 55 f16\overline{f}_1-6 f2+1f3=0\overline{f}_2+1\,\overline{f}_3=0. Having calculated such relationships in all dimensions up to 40, in all even dimensions there is a single relationship, in all odd dimensions there is a two-dimensional family of relationships. We come upon connections to Tchebyshev, Bernoulli, \& Euler polynomials, and Stirling numbers.
