Universal Peculiar Linear Mean Relationships in All Polynomials
Abstract
In any cubic polynomial, the average of the slopes at the roots is the negation of the slope at the average of the roots. In any quartic, the average of the slopes at the 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 , letting denote the mean value over all zeroes of the derivative , it holds that ; and in any quartic it holds that . 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.
